They came direct from the artist.

He illustrated many Gremlins and Gremlins II items including some of the movie posters.

Could you link to some Gremlins 2 items as well?

Different sizes. Most are game box sized or bigger. One is small.

Very neat. What was the artists's name? It wasn't John Alvin, was it?

It is not John Alvin but I like where you are going with this. Alvin did a number of movie posters including the famous ET poster.

If you have some spare change in your pockets his famous ET poster is currently up for auction on Heritage.

The answer to your question on who illustrated these Gremlins pieces is Greg Winters. Greg also did a number of other Gremlins pieces including the movie posters.

Dropped off the Gremlins artwork with a frame shop. Hope have a nice display ready for CCAG on the 22nd of this month.
