JUST A WORM

HONEY, I SHRUNK THE ART SHOW

Presented by Tom Whalen & Dave Perillo via Gallery1988

This collection of small artworks celebrating 80s pop-culture officially opens tomorrow, Friday July 19th. Prints and originals are all under 6x6 inches and will be available online at Gallery 1988.

…………..

I took a brief break from my current project to create a tribute to my favorite little puppet ever crafted: The ‘Allo Worm from 1986’s Labyrinth by Jim Henson.

….Did you just say “Ello”?

(No, I said ‘Allo’ but that’s close enough.)

Note: According to the script, it’s written as Allo, not Ello, which is how it’d be written in his cockney accent, despite it being widely seen as Ello across a variety of official Labyrinth stuff like the pinball machine I saw recently.

Hidden in my labyrinth is this very greeting, and I went with ‘Allo! for film accuracy. But please feel free to continue to call him The ‘Ello Worm, because after all, he’s “just a worm”.
