Hi, you guys.  i love the oscars because i like having parties.

We did a special OSCARS WEEK at Great Showdowns.  want to see?

here you go..

You guys!  I had a real nice chat with the Englishman, Dan Berry, last week, on his show called Make It Then Tell Everybody.  i very much enjoyed it.

Would you like to hear it? …. Go ahead and listen!

It’s time to look back onto 2012 and reminisce together, you guys.  I’ve had a real amazing time making showdowns for you all this time.  We had a little art show in LA and released the first ever book!  So there is much to celebrate.

So let’s look upon the Great Showdowns that seemed to be the most popular!  (judging by the notes they got.  is how i tallied them)

anyway,  thanks for everything!  It’s been super great.

your pal, scottc

Merry holidays, you guys!

It is time for a book signing party in New York City!  The place in which i live! Come for books, paintings, and prints and just get jolly with us!  I will draw in whatever you put in front of me!

We will have these things:

• The Great Showdowns books
• Great Showdowns actual paintings
• the brand new limited edition Tener Times print set from Cotton Candy Machine
• various other Scott C books and prints from this past year or two.
• warm embraces

p.s. here is one of the prints that will be in the Tender Times set…

Well, it is the Holiday season again, you guys.  Time to get super joyous and give things to each other.

I know it can sometimes be hard to think of things to give to loved ones, but don’t worry because i have made a list for you.  The MASTER LIST that is sure to get any loved one incredibly pumped.  And here it be…

1. The Great Showdowns Book – Let us start this list with the crown jewel of gifts. The Great Showdowns book, the first collection of showdowns from the smash hit series The Great Showdowns.  This little book will fit nicely into any super large sock or jacket pocket. If your loved one likes movies, then they will almost certainly freak out on this.  You can look through it together and strengthen your relationship through working together.
2. Great Showdowns Print Set #10 – If decorating is more your loved one’s bag, then perhaps he or she might like to hang some Great Showdowns on their walls.  There is a brand new Great Showdowns print set available at Gallery 1988 for exactly that person.  They could hang them together in a group or strewn all over the house in secret places.
3. Original Great Showdowns paintings –  Or how about actual paintings that are already framed?  That might look nice on your loved one’s walls.
4. The Great Showdowns Coaster set – I’ll bet your loved ones enjoy refreshing beverages.  Well , these Great Showdowns coasters will make great spots to rest those beverages between sips.  What a Great Showdowns Holiday it will be!
5. Original Paintings and things from Gallery Nucleus – Perhaps you already have just too much Great Showdowns stuff and would like some other paintings for the walls.  Well, don’t worry about that because Gallery Nucleus has all kinds of things from paintings to prints to even shirts! 
6. PRINTS from Poster Cabaret –  If prints are what your loved ones really dig then you should probably go check out Poster Cabaret because they’ve got a whole bunch of new ones over there.  Spacey ones, Twin Peaksy ones, Spidery ones, and just loving couple ones.  Just all kinds of nice ones.
7. Amazing Everything: The Art of Scott C. - Of course, if your loved one did not get this book last year and had some real tears about it, then perhaps you should remedy that this year!  It was the topic of 2012 and you really don’t want your loved one to miss out on these conversations.

And that is the Scott C Holiday Gift List!  I hope you totally find something that they might like!

*****Oh, and a special note:  If you live in New York City and would like any of this stuff signed by my hands, i will be doing a signing party in Brooklyn at Cotton Candy Machine on December 8th, 7- 8 pm!  We will have books and prints and even original Showdowns paintings for you!  We will also be releasing a new limited edition set of Tender Times prints!  So you should come!

Well, i am back from the UK travels, you guys.  It was an amazing trip.  Thank you to Forbidden Planet in London and Thought Bubble in Leeds!

Here are some photos from our adventures:

First night was spent with bros Olly Moss, Rex Crowle, and Aled Lewis near this old clock…

The signing at Forbidden Planet with Olly Moss was super fun.

Derek Bremner took some awesome photos of the event. You can go look at them right HERE.

Katie and I visited Corfe Castle.  My new favorite castle…

We also visited Haworth in the North.  The little town where the Bronte sisters lived…

The Friday before Thought Bubble was the insane Mondo show.  It was pretty neat to see all those posters large, as they were meant to be seen.  The Q&A was a crazy mob scene.  But a graciously controlled mob scene.  Justin is a good master of ceremonies.

Thought Bubble itself was absolutely amazing.  I could not believe how many people came by the table. I was blown away and almost had some tears. Thought Bubble itself was super well organized!  Lisa and Clark were the best.  Thanks to Nabil at Travelling Man for getting all the books there!

Met some amazing people at the show.  Some of them gave me sweet little drawings!  Like this pleasant one here of me showing down with a TV!

Alex was the dude who helped KAte and I out at our tables all weekend.  He was a real together dude.

The big Thought Bubble gathering was at this place called the Corn Exchange.  The outside looked like a cool old dome, the inside looked like the inside of an actual universe with organized stars…

The whole weekend was splendid and i am happy that i got to spend good quality time with old and new friends.  Here is an example of some friends: Olly, Aled, Becky and Frank, and Clark!

That’s the end!  Thanks, the UK.  You are pretty great over there.
