DarkArtist's End of the Line Thread

[The Craw]

the next time someone goes to his house for a party or whatnot LMK so i can have you pick up my stuff. i'll pay you for your trouble.

 

[RichAlot]

Not that its an excuse since i use to skateboard to the post office( you got to do what you got to do)! But having been to his house i can honestly say that ____er lives in the middle of nowhere! there is nothing in like a 30 mile radius!

Pitu you can buy postage online (cheaper than in person) and the mail carrier will pick up up the packages for free during their daily collection. There is no excuse.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I guess I should start watching my back for snipers or bombs under my car now.

Ok, here goes. I'm not going to give out any excuses, because my issues have all been well documented. Dront, I don't get how you are so angry you can wish me dead. You are my very last commission, the newest of all of my work... I know it is still late, but your work is actually further than anyone elses and will be the first to get mailed out. So wish me dead all you want, you will have your stuff next month no matter what.

As for everyone else.... I have honestly (swearing on a stack of satanic/and regular bibles here) tried to get work done to no avail. I just can't seem to wring out another drop of creativity to get this stuff done and out to everyone.

So here is what I am going to do. I'm going to just mail it back as it is. There will be a lot of half finished stuff, but it's the best I can do for now. I'm trying to get a regular job too (go ____ yourself Prog) to ensure I can pay refunds and just get this ugly ass chapter of my life closed once and for all. Richalot, you will have your stuff first. I'm sending it off, no bull____, as soon as my May GI Bill check goes into my account (around May 7th).

I apologize for being absent, but I wanted to see if I could still get work done if I wasn't being bombarded by customers and pissed off people all the time. It didn't work. So here I am.

After this is over I am done with Freaks. I don't want to be a reminder of sour deals gone by, nor do I want to be a cautionary tale for customizers... so I won't be around here at all. My freaks friends can still contact me through other venues, most of my buddies already have the connections to do so.

I failed miserably at this customs thing, and I pissed a lot of people off here at the end. It was never my intention to do so. I wanted to finish up, and I will get the few finished items out first to everyone. You guys don't just have to write off your investments or consider your figures lost. You will have them, even if they won't be coming the way you or I intended. I just have to pay for shipping as I can, and I really don't want to take any more money from anyone to do so. I've taken enough.

And if I turn up dead because of ____ing toys, I swear...

I know I was an idiot, I know I screwed up, and I have honestly been trying to do what I can to make it right. I can't be everywhere at once, I can't answer all the goddamned emails and PM's as well as try to paint and ship... it's ____ing impossible. I ____ed up, and I am sorry. It's the least I can do to start, and I will get the stuff mailed off in sections as soon as possible.

I'm sorry to have failed you all so miserably and I hope you can let me make it right.... And afterward you all can just forget I ever existed, we all will be happier for it.

Could not have said this any better myself. Shoot me a PM Josh. I can send you $$$ to cover shipping my stuff back.

[kl241]

Sounds great Josh, just let me know when I can expect my refund.

 

[RJMacReady16]

If any progress at all was made on Ash let me know---I might take a half-finished product over a refund, depending on how much there is.

 

[jediknight120]

Don't understand why people wanting updates on things they paid for are ripped.

And I really don't understand death wishes.

Edit: corrected the last sentence.

 

[karamazov80]

Not that anyone cares, and please don't construe this as any sort of defense, but it wasn't a death threat. It was a death wish. Still an unbelievably horrible thing to do, but possibly not criminal behavior.

 

[eighthsamurai]

thanks for the update josh. i would much rather send money for my 3 heads to get them shipped out early if possible bud. it's been a long 2.5 years, and i'm just anxious to get those (even half finished) noggins back on some bods.

in a way i'm glad you won't be trying to finish - i think you need some closure on this as quick as you can. and hopefully you'll want to stay in touch with a few of us.

 

[wofford29]

I'm not trying to fan the flames here but I don't think all the "if you need money to send my stuff back" is going to work. If you just read the thread people have tried that and have been taken a second time. I'd advise just to be patient and let Josh handle it himself with his money so that the hole doesn't get deeper.

 

[galactiboy]

If I lose $15 in shipping my life will go on, just personal opinion and how I feel about it.

 

[eczamurai]

Not exactly sure what to make out the last post J, but I'd like to know where I stand in this, it's been well over a year now, but Im not upset, I've got a Joker head over at Small Studios for a few months now, and thats fine, the way of customs! I've been repainting a Medi Fett for 2 months now lol. But I'd really like to know IF there is any progress made, and IF you could show it with a pic or so. I'm very patient, but you gotta trow a loyal dog a bone every now and again

Cant believe I called meself a dog there

 

[MicroJow]

Hey, Josh - please let me know if you received the postage-paid box. Seriously, just put the remake Jason & his parts in there, seal it up, and hand it to your mail carrier. And like I said, if you want to put the hockey mask mold in the box, too, I swear I will * try * to cast some masks for anyone who ordered a Jason from you. I don't want to be a part of the problem, I want to be part of the solution.

Thanks man, and far from a death wish, I wish you some peace ASAP!

- J

Great to hear from you Josh . You know you really shouldn't leave the forums unless for another reason. I personally don't look at your profile and think that's the guy who is making everybody wait years for there stuff. I think " that's the guy who despite having tons of problems in his personal life still keeps coming back to finish or at least try to finish the work he has been paid for "and I know myself and alot of others here respect that.

Just a though. I haven't a problem at all with recieving the stuff half finished or however close or far it may be from completion , I'll get them finished somehow.

If you need my address or anything just let me know.

 

[wofford29]

It's not just about what you lose though IMO. It's about giving Josh the temptation to use it for other outlets and dig himself even deeper and keep adding pressure on himself if he can't deliver again.
