Keeping the flame alive! My friend Dennis brought over my NEW Rankin/Bass Productions point of purchase display, for local shows last night! He built it and I came up with the concept some time ago. I told him it had to be Gold for Goldschmidt. He wasn't sure how that would look, but was happy with the end result. I decorated it with Tru-Tone LED bulbs, Rankin/Bass certificates of authenticity from Artovision 3D and Jorge Baeza's caricature of me. I will be at the Oak Lawn Library's Fan Fest next Saturday, the South Side Comic Book Show in June and the Wheaton all-night flea market in August! See you there with the Rankin/Bass library plus much more! #rankinbassproductions #OLPLFanFest #trutonebulbs #artovision #jorgebaeza #Saturday #zurkoproductions #southsidecomicbookshow Tru-Tone Bulbs Tru-Tone Custom Calls Artovision Oak Lawn Public Library
