Hey guys it's about time for an update. First off I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays, I hope you all got what you wanted, and ate some good food too! I am sorry that I haven't been updating recently, I have been in a horrible art slump. Here is the wrap up of what's been going on.
1. Yes I probably did break or at least seriously sprain my finger and that was a real pain because it made it impossible to do some of the most simple things like type. However it's now fully healed and not giving me too much trouble.
2. New job. In theory I should have been hired on four weeks ago, but they keep pushing the date back, which isn't making me feel as great about the job.
3. For those of you who know me personally you know I have five pet ferrets that are my pride and joy. One Murphy I had raised from a baby, he was my mama's boy and recently was paralyzed for an unknown reason. Sunday he passed away in his sleep for an unknown reason. He was only 3 years old.
I have come to a realization. I love to sculpt, I don't think I was ever made to do it as a job. I love doing what ever catches my fancy and so from this point forward commissions are no longer available. However I will be still making sculpts, and from time to time, some may go up for sale to make room for others.
Over all I could say how sorry I am because of the delay on commissions however as some of you I'm sure have already been contacted by me regarding refunds for any projects not currently started. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN contacted by me, your sculpts are currently being worked on and you should be getting final approval pictures in the next few weeks.
If you are waiting for shipments they will be going out next week. The foam for shipment finally arrived. You will be noted with tracking numbers.
For the several people I am waiting on commissions from, take your time, I'm not going anyplace. I'm sorry for a few I owe source material to. I really haven't been myself recently.
Here is to hoping for a better new year.

Hello guys,
This is a long over due journal. For anyone with an outstanding commission that has not been started so far. I will be working on refunding you over the next couple of months. I ask you to forgive me for the time its taken for me to come to this decision.
I have loved art my whole life, and everyone has always told me I should make a living out of it. I have always shyed away from that because I was always afraid what I did would not live up to the idea the buyer had. But over the years I have tried to get in to the business anyway, some things I have been very lucky with. I have gotten to work with many amazing artists,
I will not be at wizard world chicago.
A few people have asked, unfortunatly I will not be at wizard world chicago this year. I wish everyone luck and will see you all next year.

Summer/Black Parade Feeler
Worst spring in years seems to finally be clearing! As such the clay is being remixed and i'm going back to work. I have to repair several cracked ones from this last winter and those of you who were waiting for shipments. they should be going out in the next week or so.
Also I have been considering selling another of my sculpts thats compleated the black parade, I'm not 100% sure on it yet so I'm wondering if there is any interest. Please Note me if your interested.
Thank you!
Springtime!
Its finally spring... kinda. Sunday it was 80 and I put in the airconditioners and on tuesday it was 50! awsome.... really. I have been doing some unusual art this winter to keep in pratice, altho I think something went wrong with my apoxie which I use for the base structure. the last few batches, dispite they were mixed equaly are not firming up. Luckily it was just for some doll like things but still really odd. I'm wondering if the constant hot cold had anything to do with it.
I inherited a really killer dremel, or rather I salvaged it from the yardsale which is soo cool I can't wait to use it. The one I have is really nice but its just

She lives!!!!!! So sorry about Murphy. I kinda felt something wasn't right with him, but I know how it is to lose a favorite pet/friend.
I've got the same feeling about my sculpts. The job severely limits my time and energy, so I tend to work only on the stuff I enjoy and have promised. Just these last 2 and I'll finally get to do MY characters.
Hope you feel better soon, missed hearing from you. D.
