Impressive Etch-a-Sketch Art of the Tall Man!

From the Instagram page of Mike James aka PirateKiller1985, dig this terrific new artwork of the Tall Man and a silver sphere! All I can say is.... WOW! Mike not only sketched incredible detail on the Tall Man himself, but even on the mausoleum behind him as well. And how appropriate that he also sketched a silver sphere on a miniature Etch-A-Sketch. This is just too nice to shake clean. If you'd like to see more of Mike's impressive Etch-a-Sketch creations, visit his IG page.

It looks like Mike was recreating an iconic image from the set of 1988's Phantasm II. I've included the original shot at the bottom of this post for comparison purposes. Again, way to go, Mike! You've won the internet for today, hands down.

Dig This Incredible Phantasm Prop Display

As any collector knows, there is a unique art to displaying your items, especially when you're dealing with screen-used props. And for one lucky Phantasm phan, sculptor and prop restorer Tom Spina has assisted in artfully displaying two extremely rare items from the franchise! Dig the photos below of the incredible display put together by Tom and his team at Tom Spina Designs.

TSD restored the latex dwarf mask, mounted both it and the silver sphere, created a Red Planet backdrop/base, and added a miniature spacegate! You can read more about the project and see additional photos at Tom Spina's official website. The end result is stunning. I can almost hear the hum of the gate and feel the heat from the crimson world.

Is anyone else feeling the envy here or is it just me? Thanks to Scott Pensa for the head's up on this!
