Rip Jagger said...: Beautiful shelving. I envy it. My loot is stacked in this closet and that nook. It threatens to become alive and begin lumbering about the place.

And let me chime in with thanks for the beautiful scans which show up here regularly. I've learned a lot from this blog and seen some things I never thought I'd get the chance to see.

Rip Off; 7:34 AM

Moony Luneberg said...: Ah, Mr. Door Tree! One of my favorite blogs. I especially love stuff like Sidney Sime, Rackham, Howard Pyle, etc.Thanks for all your efforts - and a peek into your inner sanctum where the magic happens!; 5:28 AM
KROGH said...: Mr. Door Tree. It's great fun zooming in on these fab pics nosing around your sanctum. Couple of questions if I may, you say this is just ONE reorganised archive room, how much more stuff do you have? and how do you know what you have posted, is there a ledger?; 8:37 AM
HEH said...: What's on the television?; 2:52 PM
Michael Kraiger said...: Thanks for posting these photos and everything else on this blog.

I am constantly telling people to take a look at this site, it's a great resource for artists and admirers.; 3:34 PM
Mr. Door Tree said...: There are four more rooms loaded to the max, plus spillover into others! That is a life-mask of Karloff...the image on the TV is by Frank R. Paul from a film we made in the late 1990's titled Images of Science Fiction and Futurism that runs just over one hour! Thanks for all the words of encouragement!; 5:12 PM
Artman2112 said...: wow what a totally awesome place Mr Tree, i would ike to visit some day and pet Jimmy Facehugger!! nice to see you watching Images of Science Fiction and Futurism too, it is a hella coool moooovie!; 5:13 PM
geo said...: thanks for a peek behind the curtain.

I would love it if you explained your scanning process a bit. I'm always afraid to snap the binding of older books when I flatten them out to scan. With all of your experience have you learned any tricks?; 8:37 PM
Tony Figueroa said...: Thank you very much for all of the work you've put into this blog which has become required daily viewing for me. Your blog is both educational and inspirational for me. Thanks again for your efforts.; 11:55 PM
Mr. Door Tree said...: As to scanning fragile books/magazines/documents...all I can say is take your time and be very careful...always keep in mind that certain items are impossible to scan without inflicting grave damage and you are better off not attempting to!; 1:19 AM
N C Freeman said...: As Mr. Karloff himself used to say in praise of his fellow actors, "full marks" for a blog well done.; 12:45 AM
JMC said...: A wonderful blog, a cabinet of wonders for lucky us. When I was a lad back in the Sixties a friend and I went to Mr Ackerman's house in West LA, and your room evokes that experience. On the downside, the smell of pulp was so strong I got ill (as I drove my friend and I on my Honda 50 back to South Pasadena, barely made it, actually), not a problem w/the Tree House. Thank you...; 2:32 AM
Chelloveck said...: Hi, Mr Tree,
First of all let me congratulate on this splendid site. I've been reading it for a long time and it never fails to amaze me. You certainly do a hard and very useful work.
I would like to ask something. Don't you happen to have Greg Bear's Dinosaur Summer illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi? In the near future I'm planning to write a review about that in my blog, but I don't have the illustrations.
If you could help me out, of course your name would be credited.
Thank you,
Péter Kollárik; 9:39 PM
HAN said...: Great blog, great pics, great collection... your scanner's brand?; 7:39 PM
Almanaque Gótico said...: Best place EVER to pass a winter! I envy you, dude. By the way, great blog.; 3:58 PM
Mykal said...: A room. A whole room with a fireplace, a large desk, and a television for an archives room. That settles matters. I hate you. Yes, I am a small and petty man.; 8:44 PM
Brandon Cline-Jones said...: amazing thank you so much love this blog; 6:34 AM
