Hey I was wondering if you had any pics of your collection you could share other than what we have seen. You commission allot of work and I would love to see more.

Hi Greg.
Wow... I am honored yet again that someone would even ask, thank you.
This is the second request I have had to show what I own, and truth be told, I donÂ’t feel worthy of this kind of attention from such talented people. I donÂ’t feel the current status of my collection is up to the standard that I have been getting the feeling you all believe it to be. Showing the collection to my international associates is way different than showing it to people who know better. LOL.
IndeedÂ…
In my mind, showing this to all of you would certainly open up comment that I would happily accept, and in knowing this, I must show you the collection when it can properly be displayed for those here to see. That may take awhile.
For the past two years, I have been in the midst of planning, changing, and planning again a build that would house everything to be seen in its proper lighting and display. These plans have been changed so many times that I almost forgot what the original plan was. LOL. Any way it turns out, there will be at least 2000 sq. ft. dedicated to my personal museum which will be housed inside a large castle of sorts. Taking in consideration my business travel and the volatile and unpredictable nature of funds these days, it has been difficult to settle down and actually get this accomplished. Of this I always have the same comment as I throw out at my football teams progress every year, “We’ll get em’ next year.” LOL.
Even at 2000 sq ft I understand it is small compared to others out there I have heard about. One of which has upward of 10,000 sq ft with an amazing collection displayed. It will be years before I can compare to that. Sheesh. Can you imagine?..
You are correct. I do commission much and still have many out being completed. These have been a looooooonnnnggg time coming. I also have much that still needs to be built up. I believe I have a good team assembled to complete what my wants are now, which will forward the ability to show the collection even sooner.
If I get a hair up my arse you guys will be the first to know and view what is here. Other than that, I will wait to show it to you all until I can do so it the proper setting.
This brings up another thing for me. When this is ready to be shown, I will want to have a party with the guests invited to be the masters of the pieces that are displayed, along with other prominent individuals. What do you all think of that?
I hope I am not disappointing anyone. I just want to feel good about how I do this.
I must thank you once again for complimenting me with this request. It is definitely an honor for me. Thank you all for continuing the dream as well.
No worries. You will see it sooner or later.
