I just wanted to tell you how amazed I am by your huge assortment of pipe cleaner action figures. I recently purchased a secondhand giant pipe cleaners and plastic pieces modeling set (it's sort of like Mr. Potato Head except with pipe cleaners instead of a plastic potato) and I discovered your work after doing a search trying to identify who the manufacturer of said kit was. I've noticed pipe cleaner figures made by other people from time-to-time over the years, but your body of work is by far the most impressive collection I've ever seen (it helps that you obviously like a lot of the same video games that I do too). Keep it up and never lose your artistic passion!

HI Gil, found your figurines via someone's favorite and was quite impressed with their quality. I also found myself enjoyed your comic strips, the one on Dr. Horrible is dead on and hilarious. Cheers!

Im sorry to hear about Thunder. But at least she now is at rest. I had a cat with the same problem when I was younger. Its a hard thing to see happen. Also Im sorry that Im only posting this now but uh...heh well I kinda stopped reading the journal for a bit. Back to looking at it at regular times though.

That's okay, dude... I hadn't posted anything there for a while.
And I'll take sentiment no matter how aged it might be. Thanks.

As my review for my Gnash said, I got that as my one Christmas gift, but surprisingly that one became two as you sent the rules for free along with it. I have to thank you for that and I wish you a happy holiday of your choosing.

Hey, no trouble at all! Thank you for the glowing feedback, and have a great New Year!

And thus I finally find the money for another purchase, and just in time for the holidays. Gnash has been sitting on your shelf for some time now, so he seemed prime for adoption.

thanks for fav on chilean rose haired tarantula.you got some awesome stuff in your gallery.was wondering,is the blackest metaler evar supposed to be Abboth from the mighty Immortal?...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob- you do awesome work. And the fact that you don't use paints blows my mind. Well done.
Abbath was indeed a primary influence in making the Blackest Metaller EVAR, but I threw some Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral in there too.
Just so long as he looks nothing like Lars Umlaut...
