I purchased Half of a Squirrel holding a nut, mounted on a piece of wood. :) Isnt the internet wonderful! It arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m going to have it hung up in my office tomorrow. Here are a couple of pictures to hold you over until then. ;)

At the moment this is the only reason i’ll be watching the olympics from China. I want to see more of this. Really amazing architecture and design.

We had a really good time and saw some cool stuff. It was super crowded and the place is so huge and packed with so much stuff that its nearly impossible to see everything in just one day, but I think I was able to take in a good deal of stuff.

There is so much cool stuff there its hard not to spend a ton of money and go into debt! I was good though and only bought a few things. One of the coolest things I saw were a bunch of figurines of the crazy little characters from the Heironymus Bosch painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights”. This is one of my favorite paintings so I was really excited about these things (unfortunately I didn’t think to take a picture of them!). They were really detailed and looked exactly like the painting. I think that was a really cool idea to do that. They also had a figurine of one of my favorite Dali paintings too! I am going to try to find the place online and order some. They’re from Denmark or something like that. Other than that there was a lot of really amazing artwork and toys there, and of course there were a few comic books there too.

There were a lot of people dressed up, as usual. I think my favorite costume of the entire day had to be the dude that was dressed up as an Elvis Stormtrooper! He had a Stormtrooper costume on from Star Wars but he didn’t have his helmet on. Instead he had an elvis wig (with sideburns of course) and sunglasses and he wore an Elvis cape. It was pretty sweet.

Here are some pictures.

A bunch of different artists painted Darth Vader busts. I think this was for some charity and for the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars.

I thought this one was the best!

A really crappy photo of some really cool looking World of Warcraft statuettes that will be coming out later this year!

another crappy photo. It’s really hard to take good pictures because of the insane crowd of people!

Very cool sculpture of that devil dude from the movie Legend. I love the character design of this guy. amazing! Never seen the movie though.

NOSFERATU!!!

I want!

This statuette of Voldemort was absolutely amazing! It was so realistic!

This was a very well done costume. I don’t know how these people do it. It would drive me crazy to have all that make-up and stuff on.
