So last month I posted that we had been spending a lot of time going through our collections and properly organizing/displaying/loving them and while we've been greatly delayed due to some family things that needed attending to we've gotten a lot of work done on our collection room. It still needs a lot of work, but we're getting there.

( Lots and lots of geekery )

Haven't done a collection update (or much of anything else in a long while. Mostly because we've been pulling our old geeky stuff out of storage and sorting through it. It's a work in progress.

So far it's gone from making things that look like this:

We just updated our collection of cels and sketches in our gallery! As usual I'm just going to post a few highlights.

We just updated our cel gallery recently with more than just cels. A few months ago we managed to get some awesome concept drawings of a dragon. They were apparently supposed to be for a Las Vegas theme park that never got off the drawing board. These are Cool dragons on their own, but to make things better they were drawn by Jeff Dee who is a ( Read more... )

So, this is a bit of a lag in coming. I should have updated it last month as I begged for it for my birthday and got it. I think anyone who reads this normally knows I'm a little slow though.

It's November 1st the first exciting day of the first year of NaBloWriMo and NaNoWriMo if you're way cooler than we are and doing that.

It's October, and I'm a goth kid at heart so I've been trying to stick with a Halloween sort of theme for my posts. This weeks oddity post will be no different.

A little blog business before I get to posting the cel collection update. I did finish my retro review last Tuesday, but when I came in to post today I realized I never posted it and it's still saved as a draft instead. However, as it's already Monday I'm just going to post it tomorrow instead so I'll have one posted early for once ( Read more... )

I probably don't have to say this again, but I will, we love thrifting. The majority of things we're interested in adding to our collections is 10 years old or more, which means in the minds of many people, junk. So we're often finding all sorts of tossed out goodies. My favorite find was probably this coleco pac-man mini arcade still in the ( Read more... )
