MORE SPIDEY!

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!

Leslie and I saw "The Amazing Spider-Man" this weekend.  I wouldn't say it was "amazing", but it was very enjoyable.  Definitely worth seeing!  8^)

MAGOO PUZZLE!

Really enjoying this 1965 Whitman MR. MAGOO Frame-Tray puzzle!  Love the artwork!

DON GRADY - 1944-2012

Sorry to hear of that DON GRADY has passed away. Grady played "Robbie" on the classic TV series, MY THREE SONS...and was also a former Mickey Mouse Club Mousketeer.  Grady is shown above wearing the blue jacket.

SUPER PUZZLES!

Leslie and I had another great time today at DISNEYLAND!  Added the matted ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM attraction poster (below) to my collection.  8^)

THE BATCOPTER!

AURORA MODEL KIT ADS!

WHITE SOX '55!

From my CUBS / WHITE SOX baseball collection...love the design of this 1955 Chicago White Sox Official Score Book cover!  8^)

THE IMPOSSIBLES!

COMMISSIONS!

Here's an example of one of the many commissioned pieces of art that I've created for fans of classic TV cartoons!  This was one of my favorite pieces to do...a lot of my favorite Hanna-Barbera characters!  8^)

AMAZING...

...that the main character, CHARLIE CHAN, isn't even shown on the front cover of the newly-released DVD set of THE AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHAN CLAN (above).  I wonder if the Executives, Art Director and Designer at Warner Bros. Home Video, who are responsible for the DVD set's cover insert, have ever seen this show.  Do they even know who CHARLIE CHAN is?  I don't think so.  I think it would make more sense to use an image very similar to the show's 1970s Whitman coloring book cover (below).  8^)

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY, PAUL!

SANTO!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Proud Papa or not...hope everyone had a great Father's Day today!  8^)
