BamPOP Print: Juliet

I adore the work of JJ Harrison. 

I own quite a few of his LOST in Comics panels

as well as his LOST in Star Wars Trilogy

and The Freighter.

He also did three LOST watercolor prints

that were sold in his Etsy store.

Each is an 8.5" x 11" giclee print

 on cotton velvet rag paper. 

I previously posted the 

Faraday and Sawyer prints here.

Juliet is the final print.

Sawyer *Graphic Novel* Poster

I bought this poster on eBay.

I don't know who the artist is...it is not signed or numbered.

It shipped from China and took awhile to arrive.

I'd forgotten that I even bought it.

The poster measures 24" x 18".

But it makes me long for LOST to

continue on as perhaps a graphic novel. 

I'm not sure that I'll ever frame the poster.

But I'll peak in my flat file regularly...

"The Revolution Was Televised" by Alan Sepinwall

The latest edition to my LOST library

actually only contains one chapter on LOST, but

it is a fantastic chapter!

"The Revolution Was Televised: 

The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever"

 by Alan Sepinwall

covers the groundbreaking dramas of the last 15 years.

Chapter 6 is dedicated to LOST

I read Chapter 6 first...

(hey this is ME we're talking about!)

but the others chapters cover shows

that I am/was also a loyal viewer of:

(I know that is grammatically incorrect, 

but don't care. I write like I talk.)

The Sopranos

Oz*

The Wire*

Deadwood

The Shield

LOST

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

24

Battlestar Gallactica

Friday Night Lights

Mad Men

Breaking Bad

*I haven't watched these shows yet, but have The Wire DVDs

ready to go over the holidays.

The interviews with the creators and showrunners

of each drama are insightful, funny and full of terrific

little-known tidbits. 

I highly recommend this book to everyone

who loves TV as much as I do.

It is available on Amazon.

Hurry, buy it now.

"Smoke Monster" Sandwich Keeper

I love getting freebies and samples

in the mail.  I try to snag as many as possible.

A few months ago, I came across an offer on 

Facebook for a custom sandwich keeper.

The instructions said to upload your child's

drawing. Um, no thanks.

But I DID upload young John Locke's

drawing from 1961 of the Smoke Monster 

attacking a man from the Season 4

episode "Cabin Fever".

A short time later, my custom sandwich keeper

was delivered. AWESOME!

I use it several times a week since I rarely have

time to leave the office for lunch out.

And how do I transport my 

sandwich keeper you ask?

silly question.

Dharma Security Console Design Plan

The Dharma security console concept sketch/plan

is one of the LOST Season 5

production artwork and design

pieces I purchased.

The security center can be seen in several

Season 5 episodes, but is most prominently featured

in "Lafleur".

The Freighter by JJ Harrison

The Kahana is the subject of

JJ Harrison's print "The Freighter".

It is the first print in his "LOST in Horror" series

and measures 24" x 36".

My print is #6/42 and is displayed in my office.

Rittenhouse LOST Archives - 3 Case Incentive Card

Rittenhouse LOST Archives trading card set

included a very rare 3 case dealer incentive card.

It is a "relic" card, containing a piece of Banyan tree bark.

Banyan trees were often shown on LOST.

Banyan is a type of tropical fig with a distinct growth

pattern of aerial roots. The trees often begin as a 

seedling that has sprouted on another tree.  As the  

tree grows, the roots grow over the trunk of the host.

The roots, growing thick and woody and fusing where they

meet, become a cage-like structure surrounding the host,

which eventually dies. When the dead host rots away,

a hollow space remains.....

.....a place to hide from polar bears and Smoke Monsters

and  where Charlie was hung by Ethan ( among other scenes).

My card is #96/250. 

LOST Crew Jacket

This is the third LOST crew jacket in my collection.

The first two can be seen here.

Actually, the latest addition is more of a pullover

than a jacket - an all-weather golfing garment made by PING.

The sleeves can be removed at the elbow via zippers

for warm-weather play.

The pullover was a gift to cast and crew

 from the producers of LOST.

The upper right breast is embroidered

with "LOST" on a tropical island.

Maybe I should wear for a game at Hurley's golf course

while in Hawaii for the LOST 10-year reunion?

"Believe in Duct Tape" by Jared Wong

The first item that I bid on in the 

Cancer Gets LOST auction

was ""Believe in Duct Tape"

by Jared Wong.

The concept is genius!

It is based on Miles' quote in the LOST finale:

"I don't believe in a lot of things, but I do believe in duct tape".

(screencap used with the permission of Cancer Gets LOST.)

The original piece is made entirely out of duct tape on

an 18" x 24" canvas and is signed on the frame.

"Believe in Duct Tape"

is currently being framed, so I am using

Cancer Gets LOST's photos from the auction listing. 

I'll update this post with photo of framed 

art when it is returned to me.

***UPDATE***
"Believe in Duct Tape" now framed!

Rittenhouse LOST Seasons 1-5 3 Case Incentive Card

I am very particular as to how my LOST trading cards

are stored.  I prefer to use clear acrylic screw-down

cases for both the autograph and costume cards

in my collection, as well as the 

ACEO sketch cards I have acquired.

  They provide greater protection

and security than the flimsier top loader.

There is one exception in my collection.

I have one graded trading card that is encased

in a snap-top shallow acrylic *box*

It is the only graded card in my collection,

though the collection in its entirety is mint/near mint.

Rittenhouse LOST Seasons 1-5 Trading Card Set 

included a very rare "Dealer 3-case Incentive Card".

Harold Perrineau signed the card and

Beckett Grading Services graded the card 9.5.

LOST Crew Shirt - Season 6

I recently added the third Season 6

Crew Tshirt to my collection.

The first two can be seen here and here.

The latest addition has a completely different

graphic on the back than any of the other

LOST Crew Shirts I have  acquired.

LOST Crew Shirt - Oceanic Stunt Team

I really love the behind-the-scenes stuff

included on the LOST DVDs, especially

when the crew is featured.

I am fascinated in knowing how the show was put together.

I have acquired various crew shirts from each

of LOST's six seasons, as well

as a few department crew shirts.

But I never had a shirt specific to 

the stunt crew.....until now!

"No Man Is An Island" by Julian Callos

One of the amazing original works of art

in the LOST Underground Art Show

at Gallery 1988 in December 2009

was titled "No Man Is An Island"

by Julian Callos.

The ink, acrylic and gouache on watercolor paper

sold for $480.00

You can see all of the original works of art here:

LOST Underground Art Show

My friend Alice/comixguru tweeted a couple of

months ago that "No Man Is An Island"

was available for purchase as a print!

http://www.inprnt.com:7080/gallery/julian_callos/no_man_is_an_island/

I purchased the smaller size.

The 12" x 12" print is hanging in my LOST room.

Kate Sketch Card - Nathan Ohlendorf

I acquired as many of

Nathan Ohlendorf's LOST 

sketch cards in the 

"Poor Little _____"

series

as I could find several years ago:

Locke, 

Jin, Eko and Sawyer,

Hurley, Charlie, Desmond

I only just realized that my new

purchase is the first female of the group.

"Poor Little Kate"

She's been on the island without tweezers for too long.....

Silhouettes From Popular Culture by Olly Moss

Olly Moss has become one of my favorite artists.

I was first introduced to his work during

DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear aka

The LOST Underground Art Project.

"Locke's Secret" was the second print 

released in the 16-print series.

I also have the Locke's Secret Tshirt.

"LOST" was the final print released in

The LOST Underground Art Project - Series II 

I'm so proud to own both prints and they

are treasured pieces in my collection.

They show up often in photos of other 

collection items that I've posted on the blog.

I've since purchased 8 additional

prints (non-LOST) by Olly Moss and

was thrilled to hear that his

Gallery 1988 Show

"Silhouettes From Popular Culture"

would be compiled into a book.

It arrived this week.

I actually purchased two copies of the book because.....

John Locke and Ben Linus 

ARE INCLUDED!

I plan on framing these pages from 

one of  the books and displaying in my

LOST room.

Robert Kirkman. author of the "Walking Dead"

graphic novels purchased the original

silhouettes from the show.

But I am content with my copies -

they are THAT AWESOME!

Photos from the gallery showing of all of the

original framed pieces can be seen here:
