King Kong nerd trivia of the day



This is a stop motion puppet of an Arsinotherium, a prehistoric mammal. The puppet was created for a projected called Creation, which was essentially abandoned for Kong.



Here's the same model on one of the Kong sets, which shows how deep these miniature sets were.

How do we know this was a Kong set?



Note the peg holes on the ground so the puppet's feet could be tied down into the floor.

Many of the puppets made for Creation like the T rex, Pteranodon, Brontosaurus and the Stegosaurus above were essentially then used for Kong.

Pretty cool!

T rex and Mosasaur prints!

Some of you five have asked me from time to time about my old Age of Reptiles prints, and while I am out of them myself, here's a link to Stuart Ng, who has a few for sale.

Link HERE for the rex print!


Link HERE for the Tylosaur print!

Good luck!

Two for Thursday! Double ebay AOR original art listings!

I thought I'd try something different this week and list two different ebay offerings, a single page spread and a two page spread.

Here's the first, the two page spread:


A two-page spread, crammed with dinosaurs and marine reptiles, from THe Journey, issue four, pages four and five.

Here's a close-up:




There you go! Here's the LINK!


ALSO, here's a single-page spread, as a reasonable alternative:




Here's the link to the SECOND LISTING!

Both pages are chock-full of dinosaurs!

Good luck to all five of you!
