nice bell, amigo. Let me embrace you.

Did I do wrong?
It doesn't matter. I'm very happy.

Even a tramp like me, no matter what happens...
...I know there's a brother somewhere who will never refuse me a side of ribs.

gotta be better than the first one...

how'd they even call it a western with that title?

more like a cutie comedy, truth be told.

But, you can't have everything!

be very careful of the link to those pics...

when you scroll through them backwards, you see the real story!

Mr. Dickinson pulling half sheets of gold perfectly away from the glass!

HOW MUCH?

mighty fine pen work, mighty fine.

ok, you two old walldogs need to slow down!

excellent work, those 'Huge' pictorials are always an inspiration.

inspired me to paint a picture of you two.....

excellent work...

Lucky skunk!

Luck ain't got nothing to do with it.
When you build your career developing your skills, paying attention to detail, and fine craftsmanship,
big risks can bring big rewards.

Congrats, Bruce.

With patience, we shall wait for the ok to release photos of finished work.

Dickinson again.
thank you, Mr. Dickinson

Sorry to hear of this one, too.
thanks, Kristi.

Is Gary's contact info still the same?

thanks, Jay.

I'll do my best, some faces I only saw the one time in '89... Bob Iverson (standing, left), then seated left to right... Lane Walker, some guy (I think a young Salvatore Jenco), Janet Takahashi, Joe Jarreau, Mike Stevens, and I apologize...this fella had a shop in Oregon, I think, RK signs? Then sta...

I knew Bob Iverson, he was a good man.

Met him Feb, 1989, Long Beach, at the last Mike Stevens workshop.
He's standing at the left....
Very talented striper, it was a pleasure to know him.

May the Great Spirit watch over you, Bob Iverson.

Percy,

Few years back, last set of quills hit the trash can, never used 'em since.

I only use metal ferrulle, black handled red sables from Wrights of Lymm.

clean 'em, oil 'em and i can still count all the haaarrs, in 'em.

English make some things very well,
but not many.

thanks for the update, Kelly... I miss the piece and the town its hanging in For the specs on this job... the entire mural was painted with Benjamin Moore Aura paints. A large dedication was held for this mural about a month ago. Over seventy Japanese descendants attended, as well as a dance troupe ...

Mark, Ben Moore Aura was not used in this mural. Three coats of Benjamin Moore Fresh Start water based primer, tinting each coat darker for a base. BenMoore exterior latex to block in large color areas, then used artists acrylics, Utretch and Golden brands for the entire mural... Except.... the door...

Gettin back to the beginning of my story.... the shape, Joe, was based of the building entry, of course. the material, Mark, was entirely PVC, except for the glass, helps to have a fellow letterhead in the biz with a computer router and a background in furniture and cabinet making, Danny Baronian, h...

Cat Ballou?! Oh!

Most vulgar, vulgar movie to ever be called a western!

Cat Ballou... Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

I wanna gild in a world I'm used to!

How'd you know which one was goin' to gild first? That fella on the far left; he had a smith tip and he was in no itchin' hurry. That second fella, he had a well worn gilder's tip. But that fella in the middle; he had a crazy idea to not use any tip. What about that one on the far right? Never paid ...

How'd he do it, Pa? I never heard the table saw!

Its a question of speed, son.

Pa, ain't nobody faster at framin' than him?

Faster than him? Nobody!

If the risks are little, the rewards are little.... Here's a little sign finished and installed. Thanks to Mr. White, ordering me up the right glass Thanks to that Baronian guy, fabricating a well built structure per my simple specs, quite a builder that fella is.... 23K brite line, 18k matte center...

got a wall for it, Blake?

with all those buildings of yours in the way,
ain't no mural paintin going on in your town,
ain't no how

all that wood is diddly-squat

what it was prior to design....

that's enough for now
