greetings all, hope all is well. shipping is almost completed, bit of a longer wait on the two newer prints but they have arrived and are the last ones out the door. feeling confident in the next few days sarah shall have all shipped. if you have any questions, concerns, regrets, drop us a note.

unrelated, i was sorry to hear about the passing of scott wampler. scott was a good guy. i can’t count the amount of emails i have from him saying ‘dude check out Green Room!’ or ‘check out this James Jean Akira print!’ - going through our emails, i found one from 2012 where i compared myself to arnie cunningham from christine. a few months ago (in 2024) he emailed saying his podcast was interviewing Keith Gordon and asked if i had any questions for keith. just that type of thoughtfulness, remembering something 12 years later after an offhand remark by me. i’ll miss his encouragements, his excitement, just leaves a wampler shaped hole in my chest cavity, knowing he’s gone. don’t know what else to say but man, wish i had told him i loved him, he was a good guy. check out one of the many write ups - here or here or here. many of his articles can be found here. to his family, friends and coworkers, i am very sorry for your loss. many many moons ago he asked me to draw him a creature head for unknown purposes, and then he sent this. still brings a smile to my face. goodbye old friend.

i have some other links but its probably best leaving them for another day, just wanted to make mention of someone who was a huge film enthusiast, huge poster enthusiast and just a big presence, he will be missed.
