Turborip's attempt at fitting in.

Looking through my stuff, I realize how much I've actually gotten rid of between moving a couple times, unemployment, and having children!

Still some sweet stuff left though!

Reproduction of one of the Godzilla, King of the Monsters posters from 1956 (The American version with Raymond Burr for those that care).

Though not worth anything this piece is one of my favorites as it was an anniversary gift from my wife many years ago, she had it all framed up nice, and she likes it enough for me to keep up in our living room!

This is an original Japanese movie poster of the film Godzilla vs. Biollante. It's quite large (like 30" by 42") and was autographed by one of the stars of the film. I won this in a drawing at a Godzilla convention (don't laugh) in Hollywood in 2000.

We had it framed up, but I don't currently display it. I somewhat regret framing it up as I've considered selling it and what a pain it would be to ship. That, and I'm not a fan of selling stuff that is autographed personally to me!

Many years ago, Dark Horse did a couple portfolios of Godzilla (they would also do Aliens and some of their staple characters. I think Concrete got one too). I had two copies of their first portfolio and this piece was always a favorite of mine. The wife snuck it out and got it framed and matted for me. It's by Mark Nelson, who did the great black and white artwork on the first Aliens mini back in '88, '89, thereabouts.

I love this piece and it will never leave my possesion.
