I used to try and make my mom's amazing gazpacho when I went away to college. She sent me the recipe but I could never get it to taste the same. There was something she did to the soup that I couldn't replicate. After a while I just gave up and asked her to make it for me when I was home.
I feel the same way about "Molly Oss" posters.

Still got this rolled up somewhere. I should find a frame for it.

Anyways, not a bad idea with the helmet / shoulders on that poster up top. Would be nice to see a more original execution of the concept though.

Is that a Samus Aran printed sig on the bottom?

It's actually a s/n edition of 2000. If I remember correctly the sigs are real (for a fictional character). Weird ass piece of memorabilia. Pretty sure it's the Metroid 2 art on there as well.

Do these ever pop up on the bay? Wouldn't mind scoring a couple.

They do indeed. That's where I got mine a couple years ago.

Although the print looks kind of cool actually....it is such a blatant rip of Olly's style. The only reason I give a damn though is that it might actually put Olly off of making a metroid print now and he could have done that like 10x better...bah who knows :\
