I'm a self-taught artist and have been sculpting on and off for a few years.<br />
My previous work was as a sign maker and did that for 12 years, so I'm skilled in pretty much any sign, graphic related work.<br />
Right now I work full time for the State of California as a heavy equipment operator.<br />
I'm a member of other forums such as the RPF, TDH, FMPF since 2002 as VashDstampede.<br />
<br />
I don't have much more to say other than, this is a hobby for me to create replica props and I enjoy it as such. <br />
Although I do like the fact that I can make some extra $$ to buy and collect more stuff to add to my collection, I never do large runs since I get bored quite quickly with a project. <br />
I love sculpting, but hate the molding part since it is time consuming and it always scares me that I may ruin a sculpt that I took so long working on.<br />
<br />
As a rule, I don't and will never recast anyone's work.<br />
The only time I have done or will do so is if I have totally reworked and changed it AND asked and received approval from the original maker.<br />
As a sculptor myself, I know the fear of being recast and feelings that go along with having my work "stolen" especially for others to make quick profit for doing no work themselves besides slopping on some mold material.<br />
<br />
OK. . . moving away from the negative, I try to answer my PMs and e-mails as soon as I read them and I try to help out when I can.<br />
I have done work for folks designing and creating decals and sometimes do so without charge.<br />
Some of my sculptures have been commission work for other members from my forums.<br />
I like a challenge, so I'm up for any commission work that interests me and something I'm familiar with.<br />
I'm not much in the business aspect of this work, so at times instead of asking for $$, I like getting paid with trades of items to add to my collection.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the long read, but if I left anything out, please feel free to PM or e-mail me at forpoopinsilly (at) aol (dot) com
