I am a sucker for creature shop maquettes, and here’s a cool one of the Demogorgon on Stranger Things. Note the reference photos and other goodies that inhabit a sculpt/paint station at a practical effects shop. Terrific work from the folks over at @spectralmotion

Some of the magnificent Marx dinosaur/prehistoric animal toys of my early childhood. Found a set on eBay a few years back that brought a big smile to my face.

Another one of my childhood bibles. Had to pick this one up instantly and thumb through, wherever I saw it.

So many memories of my 1977 thoughts and nostalgia in this single image. Difficult to explain, but STAR WARS was an overwhelming, life-altering experience for me. Art by the immortal John Berkey, if memory serves.

Had this sticker book when I was a kid who loved dinosaurs. Little has changed in the years since, lol.

I’ve never seen this one before. Don’t know how many times I’ve seen the film before I realized that was one of the retracted landing pads of the Nostromo. Note Brett at the bottom for scale.

Not going to the parade today, but it’s a pretty good day to be in LA. Had to bust out the ‘24 championship lid. The ‘25 version’s in the mail :)

Apparently today is International Godzilla Day, so here’s my sleek version from the unmade 1990’s Sony/Jan deBont version. Proud of this one.

Now that the whole Nanotyrannus debate has been settled within the Paleo-community, thinking about putting the full-image version of my Nano out as a special edition print. It was created before the digital age, so I’d have to have the darn thing rescanned, so I’ll list that under 2026 ideas.
