    I think I just puked in my mouth a little. That wound looks like it's trying to form words!

    just so you know, that was back in march. the hand is all healed and in working condition. i managed to avoid any nerves somehow. be glad that it was just a cell phone pic. it was very gruesome in person.

    i'll try to get a pic of what's left of the elk head tomorrow

    LOL! Count got to him just in time !

    Skullbrain goes Cannibalistic over far less ...& probably should refrain from that unless absolutely necessary....but how was that lost KR guy not going to get Eatin' Alive!

    Besides having a reputation to uphold....if this place had a "good" rep it would end up with 10000 members and implode !!!

    Brian- Great advice, for real. It's very hard not to reply to jerks and other "ass-hats". I was about to hit the reply on that thread, but it was already locked. peace in the middle east. for real this time.

    So just to pseudo defend myself on this one.

    My first post was indeed to promote a show htat I am doing. I try to use every online source possible when it comes to promotion. So I suppose you can hate if you like, but do you have a show? AND IF SO DO YOU PROMOTE IT? If not WHY?

    My second post was indeed a shot of several customs and works in progress. My thought was to open up with with a little background on the kinds of toys I have worked on. I am interested in the kaiju's and was curious how my style would translate to the platform.

    I never made it to my third post asking questions about the toys and how peopel work on them. The clear toys and gids really make me wonder. However I never made it to this point due to the lack of human respect the idiots on here displayed so quickly. As for what brian said I am not the little internet thug and in person none of you would jave spoke to me in this manner and I promise that shit. Sio it honsetly shows the maturity level and internet thug stats of the locals around here.

    I feel no shame in trying to open a new door and absolutely no damn shame in any of my responses. I have several shows each month featuring my artwork. Two currently touring europe and a solo show comming up. I own a clothing company and promote music events as well as DJ in my hometown of Columbus Ohio. I stay busy and involved in the underground art scene everyday. how many of you can share that kind of work ethic that dissed my work. I assume none becouse if you were as busy as me you wouldn''t have the time to invest in something you don't like. I know I don't!. So honestly before you knock an inspired and motivated individual, Please do a custom of your own, get some pussy, or just shut the fuck up.

    I'm working on my first custom right now as a matter of fact.

    It's a toilet seat, with grog bog splatter. Wonder how much I could get for it on eBay?

    Before this thread gets locked down too, the point that board members here are making, some more eloquently than others, is that this board is particularly focused on one category of vinyl toys and custom artwork pertaining solely to that genre.

    If you had taken the time to do some research, you would have found that this is not a likely market to be interested in your particular medium of art.

    Much like posting pictures of hamburger and fois gras on a vegan bulletin board, one should expect flack when violating the sensibility of the space. It is as much a matter of respect on your end as it is on ours. You disrespected this board by posting your work here under the misguided assumption that people would care, and you took some heat for it---what did you expect?

    You bill yourself as an artist, so surely you realize by now that there will be more people out there that say "you suck" than there will be that love your work---if not, congratulations, you are a very lucky person.

    Now, kindly involve yourself in the interests of this board or leave and don't come back.

    What? Aren't you going to tell us how much money you have? How many super models you've slept with? No list of super cars in your garage? Have you even met Ted Nugent?

    If you're so successful, why do you need to promote your "work" and then justify it to people who don't care for it? You're tying to sell bacon at a vegan convention... :roll:

    Sounds like it's finally time to go see the old man. Hang the DJ, I'm gonna work my biz connections to get on the guest list if I can.

    I had bacon brittle recently. It worked, but it was way weird.

    Wait, don't hang the DJ. Hang Clear Channel. Bring back the DJ. The real one.

    Someone once posted somewhere....and it goes something like this:
    we're all grown ups with disposable income, buying toys (not the exact words but you get the idea)

    If you all look at the post about displaying your collection, you'll see some people have KR toys as well as kaiju. Does that make them a lesser person than the people who only collects KR toys or only kaiju? Just because you collect one and not the other, doesn't give you the right to disrespect anyone...and that goes to EVERYONE.

    BTW....did anyone see Frank Kozik on Aug 23rd....and has anyone ever made a grilled cheese sandwich using eggo waffles instead of bread?
