so I am in love with Bwana's Silver Jessie figure!!!!!!!! Is there a release date for those because I want to be sure to get one!!!!! or wait I just read the article again and it kinda sounds like they are already out, if so where can I get one???????

ok so they are out and cost $300.00!!!!!! I think that is a little out of my price range!!!!! thanks for the info guys!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha

damn I am talking to myself here!!!!!!! anyway does anyone else like Bwana art?????? I am a big fan of it!!!! kinda reminds me of Dehara but in an American culture!!!!!!! I am pissed because he has a Jessie figure made out of sculpy that I would love to have $600.00 on but it is sold!!!!!!!! GODDAMNIT ALL!!!!!!!!!

I like Bwana too. I thought it was nice of him to send those cards to people who are waiting for Steven.

man I want that color handmade Jessie figure now so bad!!!!!!!! I hope he will commision one for me!!!!! his art looks a lot like Ron rege's too!!!!!

I would say Bwana's "the man", but he actually is a bit more of "frenzied chimp in love". So there you go, Bwana's the FCIL.

I really dig the Bwana style. Not sure I follow you on the Dehara similarity though VGA, but he puts out some real tight work.
I was really happy to get the little cards in the mail. When I first pre-ordered my Stevens it was such a change up for my collection. I imediately felt happy to be having Steven in the collection. Through Bwana and Steven I got fully into the Japanese vinyl thing I think - I saw his pics of some of the Smoking Corps and I really wanted them after that.

I managed to pick up a glow Steven along the way too, which is centre piece now.

Yeah Moriachi - I think I saw a pic on his website once of Steven playing with some Gargamel baikin too.

Hey VGA - one call I can do it all.......P-town & down baby!

Hey look - now you have o be nice to me.......

PS I know Bwana - very nice FCIL!

don't know FCIL (as usual)

but i adore Bwana's work. i'm completely down with his wavelength. so much of the art embraced by the vinyl community in the US is dark, graff, or just plain weird (not saying it's bad though)

His work seems to come from a place of love, peace and honesty - things i inspire to feel/be but often fail miserably

Anyway, he always inspires me. i've been admiring the silver jesse for awhile but i know i don't need to have it to feel the goodness. Still can't wait for the Stevens though!! glad i preordered, even though they are delayed.


deep thoughts from jltohru. now back to the normal broadcast.

Oh Mori I kinda compared him to dehara (but Bwana is more in an american type of way) because his work always makes me laugh my ass off and it is colorful as hell but I also know that thier styles are completly different in a certain sense!!!!!!!! I definitly wasn't saying they are exactly alike!!!!!!!!!!

so you can hook me up DR. T??????? I emailed Bwana about doing a custom peice so we will see if he gets back to me!!!!!!! If not I will have you work your FCIL MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!! Oh and that doesn't mean I have to be nice to you!!!!!! you have to be nice to me first!!!!!!!!hahahahaha

LMK if he gets back to you - he's a rather amiable guy.If not I can put in a good word for you. And Damn! I thought I had you there for a minute - Okay I will "nice" but don't yopu go expecting any Balzac treatment! If you know what I mean and I think you do - Tongue don't swing that way!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! OH shit I don't swing that way either man and you can be mean as much as you want, I know how to take a joke!!!!!!!

Hi Guys.
Look ,my first ever message or reply to the gang. Been looking at a few of the message boards a bit, but skullbrain is the first i have joined.

About Jessie. He is out, sort of. Only a few of the 30 have been made. Been having a bit of stickiness trying to get some more made. Each one is hand-made by super studio Acorn studio right here in Portland. When i get some more done they will be available at APE, MoCCA, and SDCC. So you can see him in person there and know why he is $300. personally i would never pay $300 for any new toy, but then i have never seen a hand cast edition of 30 Gyango before.

About the big jessie that i sculpted and painted. I don't think he is sold. he is at MOCA design shop in Santa Monica right now, with his driftwood palace.

No new word on Steven. Max Toy Co will make an announcement sometime soon about the next figure in the My Peeples line.

About Dehara. we are working on some shoes together, and I love love love his work, so it is a nice compliment.

Ok, smell ya later.
BWana.

Bwana,

Welcome! Cool you joined to say hello. Many admirers here of your work. Take a look under "Show you collection". There is a whole thread on a painting of yours there.

Hope to see you soon around town!

hey, bwana -- welcome!!!
cool to know that will be a new "my peeples" figure soon, and hoping to get some news in the future about steven!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! BAWNA AND DEHARA SHOES!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to buy two pairs of those badboys so that I can actually wear one around!!!!!! Hey Bwana can I buy those direct from you????? thanks for that info!!!! Are there any sneak pictures of them yet???

I am still trying to decide if I can spend the $600.00 on your big color Jessie made out of sculpy but I will try and make up my mind ASAP. thanks for emailing me back too and nice to see you on the board!!!!

VGA - you know where you can get some of that moolah right now..............My offer still stands......... LMK

HAHAHHAH!!!! damn you are persistant, I will give you that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha - Tenacious Dr. T!!

Welcome along Bwana!!

And VGA, looks like Bwana and Dehara have more in common than I first thought!! Their names sort of rhime even!!

Bwana Rocks! Here is a custom Steven I picked up!



I have a GID Steven from SDCC as well. I totally missed out on one of his small paintings of a little mastodon. Good to see ya here Bwana!

where did you get that custom Steven????? thanks

From da man himself!

unless i'm wrong, the customs were sold around the same time as the sdcc gid was released, or i think, shortly afterwards

yeah, that's how it went.
