Welcome to Jurassic Park

Today, they released the trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth. 

Dinosaurs have always been one of my favorite subjects.  I used to dream about being a paleontologist. Even though my life went a different route, Jurassic Park has remained one of my favorite movies and the oldest franchise I have ever been a fan of. It all started when I was 8 and the first movie came out; 8 year old me read the whole novel from start to finish.  

The below drawing was from high school.  I was bored and it started as just a doodle of the three logos with some crayons. I cut the logo out and glued it to another page and I expanded it into a pen and colored pencil drawing of dinosaurs.  

An Adventure 65 Million Years in the Making

I have always been a collector, sometimes I have to watch my collections so they do not overtake my home and life.   Jurassic Park is one of my favorite franchises and has been since I was eight years old and the movie first hit the screen back in June 1993.   I remember the excitement leading up to it and how the movie trailers on TV just captured my imagination.   I also remember the McDonalds cups being everywhere.  I am lucky to have the full collection, I even managed to get the collection of Burger King Lost World watches in 1997, even having the manager get me the last one out of the display case so that I could have them all.   To many it may seem like useless junk, but to me not only is it a link to my childhood… but I just think it’s cool!
