Cool Stuff: Family Portraits For The Lost Boys, There Will Be Blood, The Jerk, And Mr. Kill Screen

We've posted about works displayed at Los Angeles' Gallery 1988 in the past. Today we're featuring new pieces by artist Kirk Demarais, whose movie-family-portraits in colored pencil have become an internet sensation of sorts. Perhaps his most famous work in the series is The Torrance Family from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, a piece guaranteed to bat around the halls of tumblr for years to come. In fact, it's proven so popular that Demarais is currently offering it as a limited-edition $65 print.

He's added new works to the series as part of Gallery 1988's massive, ongoing Crazy 4 Cult: 3D exhibition. (Check out the entire show here.) Yes, that's The Emerson Family from The Lost Boys above, and it deftly captures all of the humorous, unique resilience of each character in face of a messy '80s divorce. Also: age-appropriate sulking and curious fashion-dabbling. But where's Nanook? After the jump we've included Demarais's takes on There Will Be Blood, The Jerk (sold to this guy), and...Billy Mitchell (sans children because he's Satan's game-tester). Also, I couldn't not include a separate work by Michael Alvarez of the lurid spaghetti-and-milk bathtub scene from Harmony Korine's Gummo.
