My daughter received the Uhura Barbie for Christmas: But she quickly noticed that the iconic Uhura earpiece wasn't included. No problem - within seconds she had come up with a custom mod courtesy of Hannah Montana:

Four months after it began, the Lost Underground Art Project unveiled it final poster, the sixteenth, shortly after 10:43pm PST on the sixteenth of December, 2009. This very unique Lost ARG served weekly shots of adrenaline to the hearts of eager Lost fans around the globe. Below I've provided my personal reactions to each of the sixteen posters, and ranked them from favourite to least favourite. I haven't explicitly rationalized my judgment criteria, but it no doubt took into account various factors such as colour, detail, technique, subject matter, emotional effect, size, "artistry" (whatever that is), coolness, and overall Lost-iness. I love the fact that my least favourite poster appears as number one on the lists of others. Please don't take offense if I offer negative criticism against a poster you love. And here we go: #1 The Crash by Eric Tan I love this poster. I loved it when it was first revealed on the website. I loved it when I unrolled it from th...

Update: 5 May 2011 The trail of the lostargs.com poster ran cold for over a year, but this week exciting new information has come to light! At long last, proof that the poster did indeed make it onto the LOST production office wall! The photo below features Noreen O'Toole (associate producer), Cory Bird (assistant to Carlton Cuse), Claire's infamous squirrel baby, and hanging proudly on the wall in the background, the poster! Update: 27 Jan 2010 Above: thorsten received his copy of the poster signed by Damon and Carlton at Gallery 1988. Original Post: Something special happened during the first half of December 2009. The germ of an idea took root, was fed by the passion of many, became something beautiful, and found a home. I remain happily bedazzled by the events that transpired over those magical days. This is the story of the lostargs.com poster created in appreciation of the Lost Underground Art Project. By the third day of December 2009 the latest Lost ARG, referred to...

'The Barracks' by Nate Duval is my fourth poster purchase from the DCAAPB Lost ARG. I've been with this ARG from the time it was first announced at this year's Comic-Con. I've been online at every poster reveal. My initial approach was quite simple -- I would wait for a print which I loved, then buy it. Initially this approach worked very well. I passed on the first few posters, picked up 'The Crash', passed on the next two, picked up 'The Smoke Monster', passed on another, then bought 'Rousseau's Transmission'. No problem. I was even within the first 25 orders for all three prints. However, word of the ARG spread quickly once posters by "big-name" artists like Dan McCarthy started to appear. Posters began to sell more quickly, on the order of a few minutes rather than hours or even days as had been the case for earlier prints. After Rousseau, the next poster I loved was 'Jacob's Cabin' by Daniel Danger. It w...
