Hi Woodsy! I was VERY impressed with Norman's ephemera collection. My Captain Scarlet choccy wrappers must be lurking around there too!
I was amused at the scrap booking with Sellotape holding the cherished items on place.
I have just finished my first ever Portrait of my friend Nick Stathopoulos, for the Blue Mountains Portrait Prize this year.
Nick is a Fine Artist, but I've known him since he was just a drooling fanboy and this work celebrates that history.
Here, he is surrounded by his closest friends and all the influences of his childhood ( mostly disaster movies!).
The display box is a mash-up of 1950's Bolland style amusement machines and 1970s style Greek action movie posters!
Of particular interest (maybe to Norman), are some decorations on the sides of the display box. Greek style Thunderbirds and Star Trek gum wrappers, glued down with yellowed Sellotape as if from 50 years ago!
Too bad none of them are real!
Keep on Bloggin'

That is great, and certainly packed. It gets my vote.
