He is priced at $275, and is available to purchase directly here. The show itself launched March 29th and exhibits thru April 20th, 2013 at Gallery 1988's 7308 Melrose location.
<(Thanks for the headsup, Rhya)"For this show, artist were asked to create work based on the memorable sketches from SNL's long history. For Monster Factory it was a no-brainer to base their piece on the Land Shark sketch because of their big love of all things shark related and their designers' nostalgic connection to vintage SNL.
A classic SNL sketch, Land Shark is a "Jaws" parody from the show's first season. Played by Chevy Chase in a latex shark costume, the deadly Land Shark preyed upon young, single women. Under the guise of a plumber, candy gram delivery, or dolphin, the Land Shark would lure his victims to open their apartment doors and then swallow them whole!"
