New Original Prop Blog YouTube Channel – Introduction & Overview

This is the first in a new series of videos that I will be publishing on YouTube, to supplement the ongoing content on the Original Prop Blog.  I have in the past published the occasional video on YouTube, but I saw the platform more as a place to host videos rather than as a “channel” per se, so mixed among content intended for the Original Prop Blog were other videos that had nothing to do with the Original Prop Blog.  So this is a brand new channel going forward, and my hope and intentions are to use the video format more regularly in order to produce some different content than what has been the norm.  Further explanations are provided in this first introductory video.

ScreenUsed Closed

Truly pioneers in this art market for the past 15 years, the men behind online retailer and auction house ScreenUsed have been viewed by myself and many others as “collectors first”, as their passion for the artifacts that they’ve found, archived, and brought to market has always been quite evident if you’ve ever had the opportunity to talk with either of them in person or on the phone.  These have always been two guys that love film and television, and have always been excited by the magic of holding something special from a favorite movie or TV show.  Today, visitors to their famous website at www.ScreenUsed.com learned that they’ve decided to close up shop.

San Diego Comic-Con 2018: Editorial & General Photography

So I’ve been attending San Diego Comic Con since 1987 (when I was 14 years old), so I have a lot of history with the world’s most famous annual pop culture gathering.  Some years are better than others, though for several years running it has, from a subjective standpoint, felt like it was overall in decline (weighing the positives and negatives).  However, I believe that things have shifted direction in 2018, so here are my thoughts on Comic-Con International this time around.
