Welcome... 
Are you ready to look in the mirror while you delve into  the crazy world of the  collector?
 

If you know... you know...

If you're a collector of pretty much anything, you're probably afflicted with a varying degree of that good ole' OCD gene... it's what fuels your passion and pushes you to search and grow your collection. Try as you might, you can't control it and depending upon your particular level of affliction, you're usually obsessive over more than one genre of collecting!   

Welcome to my world...

Although  I'm a Geordie (born and bred!) I now reside in Canada and I've been blessed with a wife who supports me in everything I do... and I mean in everything! Her occasional eye roll or sigh is always taken with a pinch of salt because I know that SHE knows that I've see her inner nerd shine through over some of the stuff that arrives at our home. Case in point... Brad Pitts arm hairs stuck to a certain screen used prop from World War Z (insert eye roll here eh Mrs Bland?) .... This web page will grow over time and is intended to be a portal into the mind of someone who loves his family above all, enjoys life and is grateful for what he has acquired over many years as a collector. Most of all... it's an open invitation to witness just how fuckin' driven the fired up collecting mind can be at times!   

Some of my personal afflictions...

Battlefield Earth Props - Yes! Screen used pieces from that diamond encrusted turkey of a movie!

FX Teeth - Original examples of special effects teeth and fangs made for the stars of TV and film.

Movies and TV - from zombies to Yellowstone... a good show is one of my happy places!

Antiques - Anything old, beautiful, weird or whacky!

Firearms - Anything from old school military sniper rifles to modern hi-tech tactical beasts 

Tattoos - 'nuff said!

Good Food & wine - Looking like a 13 year old girl... this 6' 4" 290lb man will unashamedly photograph a good plate of food ANYWHERE ... and doesn't give a flying fu@k who sees him do it!


As the old saying goes... why have just one when you can have them all!!


Teeeeeeeef.....

The often over looked world of FX dentistry has always been an interest. It's amazing how changing an actors teeth can completely alter their look and even how they sound. You can make great teeth look bad or bad teeth look great... not to mention add fangs, an overbite, braces or pretty much whatever effect the character needs.  Making these and making them look real, is a true artform!  See if you know who these famous gnashers belong to before you click on the pic!....

Battlefield Earth....


People often ask me why I collect from this movie and if I'm honest.... I have no idea. Arguably one of the biggest box office bombs of all time that was  shot with crazy angles and terrible lighting.... with over the top ham acting and dialogue that makes you cringe every time you watch it... BUT... it's just so bad it's actually good! Every time I stick it on for shits and giggles, I laugh... and spot something that I'd never noticed before. A true diamond encrusted turd of a sci-fi movie... but I like it... alot.
