*Original Title, for those who care: "New to skullbrain, but I've definitely put in my time!"

So, as I mentioned over in the Just for Fun/ board reinto section, I'm new to skullbrain, but not new to this world.
Here are a few glimpses and highlights. If you want to see a larger set (although even blurrier photos), check here.
If you want to see close-ups of anything, let me know! Sorry about the quality, my house is old and dark, so shooting pictures inside here is always a pain.

ART, ETC.
The two little pieces are Jeremy Fish paintings. The painting in the middle is by Don Pendleton, formerly of Alien Workshop, now with Element.
Andy Howell, 30" x 30"
Untitled #39 by Dave Kinsey, 24" x 48"
It's a kinda rough pic, but two sets of originals by pro skateboarder Lance Mountain. Acrylic on ceramic tiles, they are supposed to represent the deep end and shallow end of a pool.
A sweet little piece by Nate Van Dyke, BUILT TO BAIL from his show at 5024PDX last Fall.
BALLS by Mike Giant, about 11" x 14"
SNOOP-A-LOOP!, photo by my friend Joe Toreno
Cap'n Annie by Ryan Bubnis
TOYS
That's a MODART bust from 2002 painted by Natas Kaupas and a Mark Gonzales ORANGE BOOK GUY statue in the back.

Most of the previous posts are from TAC or KR, but here are a few quickly snapped phone pics of more of my vinyl. My girlfriend recently moved in, so some things are a bit out of sorts as I'm moving everything around.
My absolute favorite SB figure, the blue Usugrow Rebel Ink makes an appearance.
A more recent photo of the shelf by my office desk. I've tracked down just about every FILTH production toy I could find. I have both Wagons, too, but they don't really fit anywhere yet.
Same goes for the Jeremy Fish toys, I've got all except the little teddy trooper that came out a bit ago. This completist streak in me will clearly be the financial death of me!
Again, from a skateworld standpoint, the top shelf hold three gonz statues (with two shmoos on top flanking a Jordan Isip original for all you old hardcore heads out there.)
My GID corner. Just with these few pieces, that corner glows brighter than any nightlight! it's been my latest addiction, no doubt about that.
Very glad to be here, and thanks for having me!
erich!

Added 6/14/10: I am aware I don't have a ton of strictly Japanese toys in my collection, but I figured I'd give a snapshot/glimpse of where I'm at now, where my interests lie and then show the progress as my collection moves in other directions.
And for those first reading this, I've tried to cut out a lot of the photos that really set people off. Ultimately, I just collect a LOT of different things, and was stoked to share after I had looked through other people's collection threads.
