John McCabe
Rehearsal Dinner, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Three figures wearing matching suits, ties, and shirts evoke the vision of what artist John McCabe imagines a 1973 rehearsal dinner might have looked like. Such an event may have taken place at Alan Hale's Lobster Barrel on N. La Cienega. Alan was a restaurateur and an actor, widely known as "The Skipper" on the television show Gilligan's Island.


About the Artist
Artist John McCabe produces graphic illustrations that take a progressive spin on pop art. He typically takes influence from his music to create vibrant caricatures of people, places, and things significant to the industry. Growing up, one of the highlights for John when buying music is the artwork on the packages. Inspired by that, he created art for his first EP, and every subsequent release includes artwork for each single, plus a front and back cover for the record. "The pieces are normally tied or related to the lyrics of a particular song," shares John. "In the case where I have made a series structured around music, a unique narrative unfolds within each." As imaginative as he is, John usually paints from the island surface of his kitchen or the dining room table. His music studio also doubles as a work area where he does pre-sketches. John has had several profiles from VoyageLA, Shoutout LA, and Queen City Arts and Sounds. His record label has featured his works along with his eclectic music releases.
