It all started on December 19, 2001. That was the day that The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring debuted in theaters in the United States. I was at the local cinema with my family and I remember watching Gimli, Son of Gloin, in action. Baruk Khazd! Khazd ai-mnu! He was absolutely terrific! Short in stature, but mighty in so many more important ways; fierce, loyal, courageous, caring, etc. I learned that night, that this is the way of the dwarf. More of an enlightening moment, I also discovered that this was the way that I would want to live my life. Gimli ignited a spark within me that I would carry for the rest of my days in this world and into the world of Mythic Legions.
While several of my custom dwarf characters have been created by me, I am a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due. I have purchased numerous custom items from the very talented skills of Castle of Power, Jim Pansen Creations, LuvNidlness Customs, My Action Figure Customs, Seba Dom, Travis Canning, and many others. Some of my favorites include Boldur Goblin Basher, The Beore Brothers; Bruggurr and Breggurr, The Woodland Guardians, and Sir Mulvoch.
The creativity of the Mythic Legions line knows no bounds and I fully embrace that concept along with the creativity behind it. Beyond the Proud Dwarves of Edebor from House Salvatore, I have everything in my collection stemming from Animal Characters to Demons, Goblins to Elves, Humans, Orcs, Ogres, Trolls, Skeletons, etc. With the fantastic designs that are being released, it is very difficult to pass up any of these figures. Even if I see a figure that I may not be too fond of at first glance, I remind myself that there is always the ability to customize that figure. This a chance to create something both brand new and wonderful!
Unbeknownst to many, there are quite a few versions of my likeness that were produced and none of them were requested by me. LOL My wife, Heather Salvatore, actually commissioned Seba Dom to create a human version of my head for my 35th birthday. Seba offered to create a dwarf and goblin version in addition to the human version. Heather gladly commissioned those too. That dwarf head was actually produced and sold via My Action Figure Customs and I was truly honored to see how many consumers purchased the dwarf head in my image. Special thanks to William Robert Post for his help with that. Next, LuvNidlesness Customs offered to produce a human and goblin version so those were commissioned by Heather as well. Finally, 2 of my good friends that I actually met through collecting Mythic Legions, Justin Wirtjes and Travis Canning, took it upon themselves to create a custom for me too. They strapped this custom King Salvatore head that Travis created onto a Silver Dwarf body that Justin provided and gave the king his very own bio.
On encountering an exquisitely rendered glass jellyfish and other invertebrates by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka in the Natural History Museum at Harvard University in 1998, Dutch art collector George Loudon began an extraordinary collection of scientific objects. These 19th century teaching models and illustrations were created for handling and contemplation in the pursuit of knowledge of the natural world.
The collection now contains over 200 objects, crafted from unexpected materials including lost-wax casts, minerals, velvet, ivory and glass and extends to strikingly-illustrated books, prints, drawings and anatomical specimens from taxidermied animals to bisected human skulls and papier-mch flowers.
Inner and outer worlds are brought together in an installation that illuminates a rare collection devoted to exploring and understanding the mysteries of nature and existence through scientific enquiry.

The Salvatore Mercuri Velvet Underground collection dates from the 1960s to 2017, and contains items collected by Mercuri that are related to the music and history of the Velvet Underground and its band members. Most of the collection is devoted to the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed's solo career after he left the band, but there are also materials from the post-Velvet Underground careers of John Cale, Moe Tucker, Sterling Morrison, Doug Yule, and Nico. The collection holds audio and video recordings; correspondence; memorabilia; photographs; publications; and recording projects files.
Audio and Video Recordings comprise the bulk of the collection, which includes numerous Velvet Underground live recordings from the 1960s at such locations as Andy Warhol's Factory, the Boston Tea Party, La Cave, End of Cole Ave., and the Hilltop Pop Festival. There are also rehearsal recordings of the band playing at Max's Kansas City, in Sterling Morrison's loft, and at the Factory. Additionally, there are many live recordings from the first decade of Lou Reed's solo career, a number of Moe Tucker live performances from the 1990s, and some demo recordings Doug Yule produced in 1997. Audio and video recordings are unavailable pending digitization.
The Correspondence, which dates from 1966 to 2012, details events and publications Mercuri helped produce, and recordings he worked to release. Mercuri corresponded most with Moe Tucker, where the two discussed Velvet Underground bootlegs and Tucker's solo music career. The correspondence files also hold an assortment of greeting cards that Tucker sent to Mercuri, as well as a letter from Doug Yule in which he reminisces about his time as a member of the Velvet Underground.
Flyers, handbills, posters, press clippings, programs, ticket stubs, and t-shirts comprise the Memorabilia files. The materials are grouped together by band or artist, and arranged by format. There is memorabilia present for the Velvet Underground, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Nico, Lou Reed, and Doug Yule. There is also an assortment of Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, John Cale, and Moe Tucker CD booklets present which are autographed.
Dating from the 1960s to 2006, the Photographs mostly depict either the Velvet Underground or Lou Reed, but there are also images present from the post-Velvet Underground careers of John Cale, Nico, Moe Tucker, La Monte Young, and Doug Yule. Many of the photographs portray live performances, which includes the Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Lou Reed from the 1970s to 2006, and Moe Tucker in the 1990s. There are also many candid images of the Velvet Underground from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
The Publication files contain books, exhibition catalogs, and fanzines. This includes three independently produced books, '69 on the Road: Velvet Underground Photographs, which is a collection of photographs Doug Yule took on the 1969 Velvet Underground tour; All the Pretty People, featuring unpublished Lou Reed poetry; and The Velvet Underground and Nico - L.A. 1966, which is a book of photographs by Lisa Law that Mercuri edited.
Among the exhibition catalogs is a silver box from a German Jad Fair exhibition which holds a selection of Jutta Brandt photographs depicting such individuals as Lenny Kaye, Jim Carroll, Alex Chilton, Moe Tucker, Jarvis Cocker, La Monte Young, Jean Smith, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew. The fanzines found in the Publications files are mostly on the topic of the Velvet Underground, and include such titles as Different Times, Feedback, The Velvet Underground, What Goes On, and the John Cale fan club official zine called Open House.
Files from bootleg and reissue recording projects that Mercuri produced are held in the Recording Projects files. These files contain research, album layout notes, drafts of album sleeves, photographs, and tracklists.
