Tonight, let's look at some of the paintings, prints and monster art that's not rolled up in a poster tube or packed away in a dark file drawer. Let's examine the art we hang up for all to see and fear.
This piece was done by a local artist and tattoo legend, Adrian Wright, whose strange tales ended up in the book, "Weird Kentucky," part of the "Weird USA" series. This one is called "The World's Greatest Superheroes."

Obviously inspired by the MEGO Mad Monsters, Adrian filled in the monster gaps with the Remco Monster figures to create an interesting spin on "The Last Supper." At nearly four and a half feet long, here is my display with reproductions of the Mad Monsters above it.

Next on the tour, by the same artist, we have an intimate portrait of Hedorah, the Smog Monster.

Rounding out the collection, and bringing the room together, a personally signed art print by Jim Dallmeier, I give you "Harryhausen's World." This one is framed behind glass, making it very difficult to photograph without glare.

These are four tapestries, based on the "stretch Paintings" found at Disney's Haunted mansion located on our staircase.

"Maleficent" combination clock and candle holder, with matching skull candle holders. A Disney artist did this for a Halloween decoration in his home, and gave these to my daughter.

Universal Monster giveaway toys, that I keep in shadowboxes.
Cool thread idea! I LOVE that Harryhausen print!!! You just inspired me to get up from my computer and walk around shooting pictures of my collection! Here they are...
These 2 are in my studio, the grey one is a Clockwork Orange piece by Chris Santoro of Retro Outlaw studios and the other is the Conquest of the Planet of the Apes print from Mondo's Day of the Apes film festival.

This is an Ed Wood print I picked up from Gallery 88 in LA...

This is a Creature piece that is oil pastels on old rusted tin, it's done by a friend of mine named Fleetwood Covington. His work is amazing!

This piece is an original Ted McKeever cover from the IDW Silent Hill comic book series...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/creaturerevenge/d7746085.jpg)
This isn't really an art print, but its one of my favorite pieces, its my original Karloff, Lanchester and Thesiger autographs!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/creaturerevenge/654d1a88.jpg)
This is my Mummy print from Mondo press done by Martin Ansin...

And this is my Invisible Man print also from Mondo press by Kevin Tong...

I also have a Mondo print from The Raven...

This Gogos piece hangs over me and my fiance's bed (appropriately enough :D)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/creaturerevenge/8a2e1fe6.jpg)
And last but not least these are my stained glass pieces I created that hang in my hobby room...

Thanks! They took me a while but more to figure out that anything! When I designed this room in my house I knew I wanted some really cool stained glass to accent the Gothic castle look that the room has with it's stone walls and everything, but I've never done traditional stained glass before in my life! I'm a special effects artist and designer, so cutting and welding glass isn't in my traditional bag of tricks! So I set out to make them my own way and I actually managed to make super realistic stained glass for WORLDS cheaper than traditional cathedral glass and I can reproduced them exactly! I actually sell them through my web store...

They are available as a set or individually. They look really cool in front of a light or set up in a window!

And here is a chalk reproduction of the cover to Vampirella 52 done by a local fellow that I bought at a convention here in Toronto in 1983 or so.

Okay, Boils and Ghouls, I know we all have more art sitting around our collective mansions than we have wall space. Tonight, I present three such pieces that are waiting for their turn in the Night Gallery.
The first isn't even in a frame yet, but I plan on remedying that shortly. This is a Ken Kelly signed print of his KISS "Destroyer" album cover, one of the best selling and most loved album covers in rock art history.
(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1403/1000211i.jpg)
Next, I present a framed mini poster of the Oscar Best Picture winning "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" signed by Best Director, Peter Jackson himself.
(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8813/1000213.jpg)
Last, but certainly not least, I present one of my treasured theatrical posters, an original Japanese "Humanoids from the Deep" one sheet in all of its tawdry glory.

Is that an original or a signed and numbered print?
???

It's a numbered print signed by Gogos. I think this might be one of the originals that Rob Zombie owns, but I could be wrong on that... I know he owns a good handful of Gogos' Famous Monsters cover originals.

A friend of mine sent me a BBC documentary on "Copy Artists". These are folks who live in China and Hong Kong and they are artists, but make their living copying famous paintings for the foreign markets. They get paid a pittance and room and board (which is essentially a closet). The dealers sell the paintings on the internet fairly cheap. I wonder if that is where this one originated? The thing that struck me about the documentary was their hope that one day they would be able to sell their own works, versus their copies.
I'm not familiar with the rules and regulations on ImageShack. Apparently uploading a poster of "The Lord of the Rings" violates some type of copyright law? I certainly didn't mean to break the law. Does anyone here know why that image was taken down as "Forbidden" while most other film related images are fine to post?

It's the original for a 7" EP by Electric Frankenstein and some other bands.

I bought it off ebay from the artist, Johnny Ace, about 12 years ago.
Here's the stained glass window in the door leading from my collectibles room to the upper porch:

And hanging on the opposite wall from the stained glass window is the original art for the 1972 rerelease of the "Song of the South" movie poster which I acquired through a Hake's auction about five years ago:
