Re: Angora Patio
nice one zap! honestly it would be a damn shame if this 'nnnabbit' concept is not picked up by NNN it really suits the ugliness of the industry and where i know this will befowl some folks yolk i will go a step further and be so inane to suggest getting Kozik to do a run of them as well? zapatoloco wrote: ^^ Yeah F diamonds, emeralds are rare for real and super-beautiful. If you go for a rock, go for an emerald. And, lest i forget, seasons greetings all...

Re: Angora Patio
would make another cool omake if nothing else that way its free!
its his game so its his position to do as he will tho honestly i can see nothing wrong with NNN doing an open edition blank to really let ordinary folks around the world enjoy them and at the same time still do microruns to provide sofuvi fiends dope versions..
i wish the same for Bemon figures, they are too cool to repress though i am not advocating mass production by any means. if runs were offered via preorder of just blanks it would be great yet still remain underground compared to mass production.
i think this would curb the over a $K purchase culture maybe not.

The De Beers Monopoly, the Diamonds are Forever campaign, the end of diamond rarity once we figured out how to find them through kimberlite chimneys etc... I repeat emeralds are the shit, a down payment on a house and a nice trip ( like an african safari or trekking in Bhutan) are even better ! P.S. Who Kozik ?

I've gotta go back to watching "Shasta McNasty" that show was ahead of it's time, all of these bullshit popular shows like "Arrested Development" that everyone likes are all hype, I hate hype, fuck that shit!
