Signs of Things to Come?

A good friend of mine sent me this after seeing it on BoingBoing. Not the link; I had to hunt that down myself. He sent me an actual print of Professor Marvel’s weathered-looking caravan sign, which I now need to find space to hang.

The print comes from Jon Heilman’s Metropolis Graphix design studio, though it doesn’t seem to be offered for sale at that website. But this is: a replica of the map the six dwarfs carried in Time Bandits. My favorite movie of all.Yeah, yeah, Heilman has some other recreated stuff as well, like a Lord of the Rings map and a light saber and a bunch of documents from Harry Potter.

But this is the Time Bandits map, people! The Time Bandits map!

Wow! I was skeptical until I read about the labor he put into it. That's absolutely incredible.

I need that map on my wall like yesterday. I met Kenny Baker at San Diego Comic Con a few years ago and everybody was like blah blah R2D2 and all I could say was "I LOVE Time Bandits so much!!" Got an autographed picture of Fidgit :-)
