Mindbook, I just checked into this thread to see why it had become so lively, and am very glad to find you've joined. I've watched your site(s) and puzzled over your process for a long time. I think I can make a pretty good guess about your mysterious painting process, but I'll send that along in a pm sometime, just so you'll know whether it can be guessed or not.
I hope my guess is correct, and I hope it will put some urgency into this suggestion: talk to a patent lawyer. Patent your process, and start pitching it to companies you admire. It's obviously appealing, and you should benefit from the appeal your efforts bring to a sculpt. Before somebody else figures it out.
Gonna wait 'til you've checked in and seen this before sending that pm...
Hi,
I wish I hadn't join any site(LOL).Gruff Old Bear don't take it the wrong way, this is not directed toward you, it is for everybody......I am going crazy! I can't seem to shake the subject of my technique,painting, headsculpts, my life etc... no matter how many times I try to stick to the thread subject it always comes back to me.This is what I feared, that is why I had not joined any site, I'm beginning to regret it.I want to be able to express my artwork,and opinions just like everybody else, without the constant INTERROGATION .Does this happen to anyone else around here? I just want to be like everybody else on this site, I don't want to be a subject of controversy, this is NOT what I wanted.I want to talk about the thread subject and have fun; instead the thread has become more about me, this is not fun. I'm an artist(that's my occupation) I created art.....I'm glad and appreciate some of you guys enjoy it, but like anything in life I enjoy, I get inspired and create my own interpretation of it. I don't go to restaurants, eat a meal, enjoy it, then go to the kitchen and ask for the recipe;I don't go to MAGIC shows, then afterwards approach the magician and ask him how he did it.......I just enjoy it, and get inspired. Come on guys, as customizers WE ARE ALL MAGICIANS, we are all creative,let's ALL just CREATE, don't ask my permission, or try and pick my brain. I'm just like everbody else here, there is NO mystery to me or my method, if you figure it out GREAT! If you do it better than me, even GREATER! That is what ART is suppose to do......I know I bother some people here,I apologize for that(sincerely) understandably I'm in a strange position. I'm a person who does not need the money, so I don't do comissions based on cash, I do it because I want to.People have accused me of starting controversy to trump up my sales.....What sales??? I've done very few comissions, and sold only two heads on eBay, I'm obviously not in it for the money.It has always been about the ART, nothing else.I don't care about patents, or money, and this probably bothers people, and I understand that, but this is who I am.Anybody who knows me can tell you "That's how he is" I just love the art of creating LIFE-LIKE , realistic miniature people....That's it! Why can't I enjoy this like everybody else??? Everytime the subject turns to me, I feel like a WITCH, and people are after me. Please, please respect my privacy and lets get back to the subject(for the 100th time"LOL") I'm not angry, just frustrated(frustrated artist, that's original)
