"Head Case" is now SOLD. Pressure here from my wide eyed daughter is getting me to do this here but I need this reolved asap. I am supposed to see this car tonight and lay down the moola if all is good!! PLEASE write me DIRECTLY at my e-mail if interested in this: [email protected] Prices go back to normal if any left after today most likely. THANKS!! I have received a good number of e-mails and reserved heads so far...and just wanted to start a flow here so I knew roughly what to make for Oasis. I am just finishing two new sculpts and making molds for some HYPER detailed heads. I will post pics as they progress and open to suggestions. I really have to watch it on time spent on these, as these are just a very obsessive side hobby and I tend to go nuts on getting these unlike ANY you will find anyplace...real or not. They are a LOT of hand work..custom tooling and detail. I spoke to a great number of people...professionals and fellow artists and all agree without question that these are unparalleled to anything available. I had one guy from Florida who spent 5 years as a curator for Ripley's Believe it or not" and had close access to all their specimen archives of actual heads. He told me these looked better than the real thing!! Gaff's of this quality can cost thousands. So I think my pricing is offering a great deal here. I am charging $400.00 ea. I was a bit low last time and I have to at least begin to cover my time and materials. All will be signed and beautifully mounted. Any not sold at Oasis will be shipped to publishers in Hawaii but they will be marked up at least 40% unfortunately. These are MUSEUM quality...not toys, hand crafted with extreme detail and research. From the feedback I get over the years...become a central conversation piece in a Tiki bar or other. I do a lot of research on these. This year I am pushing the character and realism. If you want one reserved, please do asap. I have three already "reserved", 3 before this post and I would guess I can make at least a dozen by Oasis. I am shooting for 20! If you are unfamiliar with the quality..see my other threads on Thor's Shrunken heads. However, thee latest are another step up in realism without question. I have since added greater skin detail and am even perfecting a facial hair detail that , if works as planned, will be absolutely stunning. I can't wait for Oasis!! It's my ONE break from the grind of Gallery painting this year!!! I plan to have ore socializing and less business this year!! lol Also, As posted, I am doing my signature rum painting of Marina. I created the rum painting as a way to capture my character in an original manor and I tell ya...it's a blast!!
