LOST Numbers Print by Ian Knight, Embellished by Henry Ian Cusick

I have often mentioned the amazing people I have met 

and lifelong friendships formed through LOST.

Ian Knight aka Zort70 is one of those people.

He managed to surprise me with one of the

 most magnificent gifts that I have ever received.

Ian attended Collectormania in England on May 26

and posted a photo on Twitter of Henry Ian Cusick 

holding up his LOST Numbers design print. 

AWESOME!!!!

This particular design is special to me

as it hung in the front window of the LOSTie

house dubbed "The Barracks" during Comic Con

2011. It now graces my kitchen door window.

It is also the lockscreen on my iPhone.

Monday's mail arrived and my neighborhood

was subjected to shrieks of joy and many tears.

The poster was for meeeeeeeeeeee!

I am overwhelmed and thrilled and stunned.

Two Ians collaborated and I am still doing my 

happy dance 12 hours later.

The second LOST Chibi Print in the

Fish Biscuit Pendant

I have found some of the most unique 

items in my LOST collection on Etsy.com

One of the most recent Etsy acquisitions

is a fish biscuit pendant.

I ordered the pendant with the intention of using the

 fish biscuit charm on Sawyer's collar.

But I may wear it instead!

"Namaste" by Anthony Petrie

The third print that I acquired from

The Bad Robot Art Experience at Gallery 1988 

 is titled "Namaste" by Anthony Petrie.

It is an amazing print, with so many layers.

Anthony Petire's Tumblr account details

the meaning of the individual baguas and

the character placement in each:

"The Numbers" appear as alternating colored 

dots in the border, beginning at the top with Charlie.

There are lots of Easter Egss to be discovered

in the jungle foliage in the corners of the print.

(I flipped the images as need for a better view).

Fan Girl Squeeeeeee! My questions answered in Part Three!

As the final video of Henry Ian Cusick

answering Twitter questions from his fans posted,

I was en route to deal with some family business.

But thanks to the mobile notifications

option on Twitter, I was able to experience

the instant gratification of viewing it immediately.

I am a total and utter goofus when it comes to stuff

like this. Most of the time I am a confident,

professional woman. But I become a blithering idiot

when it comes to interaction with the cast and crew of LOST.

It's just overwhelming to me...
and this is IAN!!!

and so my dorky questions:

@hicusick what has been your favorite acting role to date?(Des will always be myfav character of all time, <3 Simon Foster too) #askCusick
— Bonnie Craft (@andalone) May 16, 2013

 

@hicusick are you familiar with all the #LOST-themed art featuring Desmond? Would you ever display in your home? #askCusick
— Bonnie Craft (@andalone) May 16, 2013

(I HAD to ask that question considering the ridiculous

amount of LOST and Desmond-themed art
in my collection.)

The responses to  my questions begin at the 2:09 mark.
My questions are answered back to back.


"Send me some."
Cue the swooning. 

The End - Three Years Later

Today marks the three year anniversary 

of the LOST finale.

The End.

 I thought it only fitting I share one of the LOST prints 

I purchased from The Bad Robot Art Experience. 

It arrived yesterday, so is still unframed.

But it is the perfect image to acknowledge 5/23:

"The Final Adventure"

by Julia Sonmi Heglund

It is a limited edition giclee print

on archival paper, and measures 10" x 8".

My print is #9/35.

Another print in my collection shares a similar image.

"Eye Wide Shut" by FroDesign:

#40/42

and revisiting the final LOST cast photo

"The Sanctuary"

#162/815

I really haven't let go...

probably never will.

I will always be LOST.

***UPDATE***

"The Final Adventure" is now framed...

...and hanging in my office adjacent to
"Eye Wide Shut".

Henry Ian Cusick on Twitter

I have never made a secret of my adoration and admiration

of Desmond/Henry Ian Cusick.

Desmond is my favorite character 

from my favorite show.

And Henry Ian Cusick is my favorite actor.

He recently joined Twitter (yay!),

totally distracted by @hicusick being on twitter. This swoon is for you!
