THE
JAMES BAMA COLLECTION
For
many, the Aurora Monster box art portraits are iconic, archetypes forever
associated with the monsters themselves. One man is chiefly responsible
for the Aurora Monsters "look." That man is the multi-talented
James Bama. Here are a few snaps of his original art, and other
artists' work inspired by his brilliant talent.

Bama.

Here's
art for the never-produced Bride Glow Kit. I'm not
100% sure it is a Bama original, but it is
in his distinctive style. Note the image is reversed from the original.
That's how I found it.

"Making
his debut at Wonderfest 2001, the new 16” tall Godzilla
kit box art amazed and delighted on-lookers the whole weekend. Painted
by Chris White, noted artist of other Polar Lights®
model kits, the new Godzilla box art captures the true essence of
this new kit."
