Oh, I'm sure someone will mass produce it! Whether Paipo authorizes it or not! :roll: But, yes, I agree that this is one Paipo should consider making copies of. |

Here in the Land of California, namely the Village of Ventura, we have a rather long seasonality heck, we got nothing but seasonality. I would love to discuss a Paipo North, (west?) We have a little bowl of resin for breakfast most of the time so that would not bother me...well to be truthful; many Californians are mostly plastic especially the closer you get to Hollywood. But nonetheless, I would love to see some your art be available to the masses. Everything I have seen from you is true heirloom jewelry art, Cannibal Charm is the closest thing to "Low Brow" art and is perfect for a less succinct expression.
I agree, to waste your genius on resin would be criminal, seeing that I have no genius at all, it would be a marriage made in heaven. I just read your blog before I head out to the beach...(wow, from all the "F" bombs I would swear that your Scottish) but that sucks that people copy your art and the begging and pleading here in no way constitutes a desire to "Rip-off" any of your work.

Gorgeous work. Have you ever cast in glass? Another messy process, but it turns out beautiful castings. |

Yes, you guys are lucky - warm, dry and cheap resin! I pay through the nose for the stuff I use (Alumilite) because it comes from the US and then goes through a distributor and then a retailer here. Same with the silicon. I appreciate the offer, and will keep it in mind for sure - it's just a matter of time like everything else! I would probably need to carev anything to be cast with that in mind - I am going pretty deep these days with hollowed-out spaces and undercuts. |

I know what you mean. I'm a full time screen printer and I always have ideas for prints and other art, but too much work stacked up. Never leaves time to dork around. |
