Thanks for the kind words, all! Glad you dig it... there are so many swell collections
and home bars amongst the TC folks, that means somethin'.

White Devil: I definitely see some crossover there; that's one heckuva damn set-up you got
there!

So... I dug out some photos that were taken for a little presentation we did
some months back for a series called "RAW Living" hosted by the Chicago Young Architects &
Designers Forum (my wife is an architect; I'm an illustrator/graphic designer, so it worked out well...)

Anywhoo... here's some photos. 'Course, you can see these were taken awhile ago, as there's a bunch of
new stuff and everything's moved around in the Reader links above. But ain't that half the fun??

Here's a few general, over-view shots of the main living space...

The biggest difference in this one, the big UA Tiki that's now next to our TV had yet
to be rescued from a local yard...

A couple more views:

The "Lounge" we've set up on the opposite side of the living room, by the fireplace
(we'd yet to pick up the bamboo end tables we purchased from TC's own Bamboolodge-
there's also one under the window in the living room now...)

A better shot of some of the mugs on the shelf next to our Witco Witch Doctor
(looked for THAT one for a long time...)

A couple shots of some of the Tiki mugs living on the shelf above our kitchen...

A close up of the very awesome Jenny Haniver from an old sideshow that
lives next to our TV (and well as the super-cool Golden Idol mug made by TC's Witch Doctor...)

A close up of a few of our "Monster" mugs...

...what better way to segue into... THE MONSTER Room...

This one's for Trader Tom...

"Throw your hands in the aaaaaiiiirr...."

The boar's head...

A shot of a few of the records in this room (there's about 2000 LPs in here...)
with the requisite sprinkling of monsters...

A couple of the Sideshow prints and vintage posters in the hallway...

And a couple OK shots of the bedroom... we were renovating the
adjacent master bathroom at the time, so it was tough to get a decent
shot without work stuff in the way

The clam shell is a real one, and it's OLD...

These Tretchikoff prints look small in this picture, but are actually
about 4 feet tall with the humongo frames.

Of course... it's always changing, but isn't everybody's place always changing??

Hope you enjoyed it!
