We’ve featured many pieces of Scott C’s artwork in past editions of Cool Stuff. This week, Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles opened an exhibition featuring 200 pieces from Scott C’s “The Great Showdowns” series. To celebrate the echibit, they have released a limited set of Showdown coasters. I picked up a set for myself at the opening night reception on Friday, and they’re pretty awesome. tweeted about these over the weekend, and got quite the response. The set includes: Office Space, Back to the Future, Beetle Juice, and… Ghost.

You can buy the set on Gallery 1988′s website for $35. Hit the jump to see close-ups of the artwork.
