“Saved By The Bell: The Columbine Years” by Jude Buffum. Notice Zack’s giant, bloody cell phone by the stairs.

What’s awesomer than an offensive painting of Saved By The Bell reimagined as an 8-bit massacre? A photo of Dennis “Mr. Belding” Haskins smiling in front of said art!

This painting and many others can be seen at Idiot Box at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, an exhibit celebrating the 20th anniversary of Saved By The Bell with more demented pieces from 100 artists “[taking] aim at television’s guilty pleasures.” Mylan Nguyen’s TMNT art, in particular, is amazing.
