here's the first couple of pieces of a line of crazy al's stuff cast in bronze. they'll be a few more designs coming soon, larger pendants and earrings. shipping will start next week.

small bronze pendants will be $30 plus $3 shipping. sterling silver is available by special order.

they're hung on adjustable leather cords. oh, pieces are 1 1/2" tall. PM me or al for ordering info.

mahalo!!

(i sure hope al doesn't mind. :P)


give of yourself. it's the most precious of all gifts.

some helpful advice perry....
From that last quote it sounds like you didn't ask him
before you made them...
and that doesn't seem right.
Al works hard and is one of the most talented
hard-working guys i know...
Brainstorming and concept work are just as taxing and time-consuming as
actual creation.And often just as hard...
and furthermore,
Artists should always be shown copies of their work
to get an approval
not only to use the design
but to approve the final product and how it looks
especially if it's going out into the market.
i mean, you are attaching this pendant to Crazy Al's name
so shouldn't he get a say in it?

it appears that you are profiting off of Al's hard work,perry
(i read nothing about Al getting a percentage/only credit)
so you should definitely clear this with him now that you've
made and are selling an "Al" design....

"PM me or al for ordering info."

makes me think that Al is on board with these being made.

i never claimed to be a comedian.

these are al's straight sculpts. i'm making them from masters he provided to me. sorry if i was unclear or even a little misleading. that was not my intent.

just know that everything is certainly on the up and up here. i come from a family of artists and know well how hard it is and know the sting of unethical behavior.

so, now that that's been stated keep an eye out for more cool stuff and enjoy!

I don't usually care for gold tone metals but I really dig the color of the bronze. The finish looks swell. I like the use of the leather cord, too. It looks good and it also means you could swing these things like little weapons.

Received my necklace today. Thanks sooooo much for getting it out so quickly. And the other posts are right....these pictures don't do them justice! These are phenomenally made and look fantastic. Plus, I dig the little extra you put in the bag. I only wish I had the moola to order the other variations. Keep up the awesome work!

pdrake posted on 06/23/2010

mahalo!!

it always makes me happy to know people enjoy my work. keep an eye out for some great, new stuff in the coming few days.

pdrake posted on 07/30/2010

well, looks like i can't make it to oasis. sorry, my stuff won't be available there. if you'd like to show up spinning this baby around your finger while you're strutting the room crawl, you should order one now.
