Well, thank you! Hopefully there is more to come. also, thanks for the Froud comment, he is one of my favorite people ever. In fact, I just watched the labyrinth for the 12309812309809812th time last night. It only gets better . . . I love David Bowie's package in that film.

There's something still alive about the look of him, maybe it's the facial expression, but he seems to have attitude, and I like that a lot. Your pieces show an incredible level of technical craftsmanship, and I'm rendered quite impressed to say the least.

That's cool...some of your stuff reminds me of Battle Beasts, those ancient little plastic animal cyborg guys...damn, I miss the 80's.

I love battle beasts! My favorite one was the walrus with yellow armor and a fire emblem hologram on his chest.

I never had that guy...my favorite was the deer guy with the green armor and the drill arm.

Woweee. I just love your use of colour, and technique, especially with all the ink splatters. I looks like a page from a really old book about strange creatures from some surreal alternate reality.

Nice...... I like the integration of the mechanical without losing emphasis on the fact that its an object foreign to the true design of the animal. My only trouble is with the fact that the living part of the owl is the only part that stands out angainst the paper. I wish the wings were a bit more obvious in the piece, but I fear that would hurt the other parts that I like.
