Larry, good call, Iggy and the Stooges have been one of my number one favs on all time! The man came from the hood in Detroit rock city and used every drug known to man and is still alive. The godfather of real punk, the man still can rock on stage. The first record can still be herd in my shop once a week.

I came across this site. Didn't know where to stick it. So I thought I'd stick it here.
It's like owning a mini Getty library at your keyboard.
Hope you enjoy!

Morton once told me I could never be like him.
Now I understand why.
Wouldn't have bothered him knowing I never finished the sign I got from him.
Other signs from Morton will be along, and they'll out do this.

Nice addition to Machine, this double sided sign...and it spins around too!

The future don't matter to us.
Nothing matters now....
not the cigar sign,
not the bonsai tree,
not the vector fonts....

He came here to see me.
'Cause I know that now he'll tell me what he was after.........

Seeing those pictures puts me to missing you guys! I'm sure you had a great weekend.
Machine looks GREAT!
Looks like some great pieces came out of there. Thanks for sharing.
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

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 him no mind; you were there.
