Thanks GB. I like it for my set a lot. But thanks. Didn't know that about yellow. I am now glad I am not partial to it!

The first that pops to mind is the fabled play The King In Yellow which drives all who watch or read it insane.

Ohh! Cool! Never heard of that one EC!
Just a reminder of my own Ledger Joker, for those that are looking for someone to paint their upcoming Jokers, be they Hot Toys or others.

You kill me! I so want one of these but will need to wait for next time.

No worries Dwing. Seeing the movie taught me much! I have so much I want to do now with the face. I will too! 
Does make a difference to know the character after having seen stills and bits for so long. Thanks to all who are sending me great refs too!
When I do indeed get to these, I will have some new surprises for you all!

I've got goosebumps Les. To think they will get even better. Seeing Ledger in action is a whole 'nother animal than stills.
From King in Yellow wiki page: "It has also been suggested that the color yellow represents quarantine — an allusion to decay, disease, and specifically mental illness."

Les I ask you because you are someone I trust.
Is the movie as bad ass as it seems ?.
I don't want to walk in with super high expectations and walk out crying.
I am looking so forward to seeing this movie and I know I'm gonna want this Joker even more .

Actually, YOUR Future Kyle is very close Michael. As are almost all of the Hicks heads. I will be done with all Michael Biehns very soon! Including, and especially, your Reese!
Then I have to finish so much more! LOTS more! BUT...
Today and tomorrow, I am moving my still somewhat post food poisoning sick Mother into a retirement home.
SO, alone, no help, no brother or sister this go round, no Dad, as he is still laid up sick with post food poisoning
(and he's too old anyway), it's just me. Furniture, new TV, all her clothes.....let that one sink in....and her. Thank God the chair is there already! Yes, that chair! The one you guys bought! That is still too cool for me and her! I WILL be getting a video of her in it, and posting it after all this fun, so hang with me.
And then, when this is done, and she is settled, and I can PAINT AGAIN...these heads will roll out fast.
So bear with me just a bit longer. I know I keep asking this, but I am all alone here. TWO old parents, two moves in two months, on top of previous months of agony, and very little help. To say I am tired is an understatement. Please know I am keeping you all informed, not to belabor my life upon you all, but to let you know why I am behind, and that's all! No excuses, just frustrated artist stuff here. This is NOT typical scheduling for me at all. No way!
At least I have had Dark Knight and some chances to get away for a few hours here and there. No SDCC for me.
So you that are attending, please have fun! I will be with you all in spirit! Believe me I would have been there in person this year, but things just were not meant to be in that regard.So, off to move Ma, and I will be back in heavy the latter half of this week, with work and work and more work!
No rest for the weary!
Til then....
Hope you all are having fun out there!
Hang in there Les! Remember, no rush on the paints. They can always wait. We can always wait. Family is always more important, so you got your priorities straight. Don't feel guilty about it either.

Agreed. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine.

Yeah, I agree with everyone that family is the TOP priority! They always must come first. Our little hobby can wait. The heads will still be there waiting to get painted. I am learning to be more patient. But, it is good to hear that all of the Hicks head will be done soon! I'm really looking forward to getting mine from you Les.
I'm happy to hear that your Mom's new chair is already at her home. One less big thing for you to have to move. I wish I could be there to help you out. I know we're all looking forward to seeing your video of her in the new chair!

Les , hang in there bro. Your parents are lucky to have a caring son like you. It's gotta be hell to see the people you love most in the world unable to take care of themselves in their old age. If put in your shoes any of us would feel overwhelmed and exhausted going these tough times you are experiencing now.Nothing stays the same forever bro. Times will get better and you will be back on track. When you are feeling down feel good about the amazing talent God has given you as an artist and your backlog of orders is a testament to that talent. FAMILY FIRST my brother. We got your back. Take care , Michael

Michael is right. I agree with him completely Les. You have a very special talent that most of us try to reach, but never get there. I've never seen custom 1:6 scale heads painted better by anyone else.

Thanks guys. Reading what all you all said, has helped me a lot. I can hardly type, since when I had all her stuff out of my Blazer, and was going back after all that to put the large box to her new TV, which I had to set up too (Nice one! First big flatscreen in the family) anyway, when I went to open the tailgate spare tire rack, the latch caught the little finger of my left hand and damn near cut the tip off. Still hurts like hell! Flattened it! For a while the tip was flat, now it's swollen and the nail hurts. Hard to type. At least artwise I am safe, I am right handed!
Anyway, all that in 100 degree heat, with no AC in my Blazer and two trips back and forth to the home, getting paperwork signed by Ma's doctor (They hadn't even put down that Ma is diabetic, and that she needed to test her blood four times a day! ) so I was crazy today.
Anyway, I got home, cooled off and ate, even though my stomach is a bit off today, and crashed. I got up a bit ago, doing laundry for Ma and helping prep for tomorrow's big move, and I realized I am right back where I was over a month ago, where she won't be here anymore starting tomorrow. Damn this! It never ends! If I could just get things settled. I hope she is happy at this house. I want her to be. I need her to be, for lots of reasons, mostly so she can be cared for better, and that smarts too, knowing I can't do more.
But anyway...enough maudlin stuff.
Just, thanks guys. You do not know what it means to read the things you guys say. It means SO much! And the chair...that does too!
I will get the video tomorrow, and try posting it tomorrow night. I am bound to be emotional again, after all this. It just keeps going like a tide, in and out, but never setting in one spot. That wears on you as much as anything can, that lack of resolution.
Anyway, when I can get back to my beloved work, and I do mean that, sincerely, it will be a great day. Days of little interruption will help more than anything else. I know I have to start out going to see her a lot, and that will ebb some, as time passes, and allow me to return to a schedule where I can not only get this wave of Hicks and other like heads done properly, but get me back to the newer ones too.
So, if anything, keep on praying for us. Mostly, pray that Ma is happy where she is going. That I need more than anything else. That will make my job better too. It is hard, and again, here I go, into this missing her thing, but at least I have faced it before, and this go round, she is in a better place for sure. She is even excited about it!
So, onward and upward!
And again, THANK YOU! All of you. You guys are the best. I mean that. I am inspired to do so much for you all very soon. Trust that!
You ain't seen NOTHIN'! yet!

Les, I hope this move works out better for you, it's not an easy thing to do, let alone twice, but at least having gone through it once, you seem able to cling to some positives of the change this time. Nothing will change the negative feelings and such it'll stir, but if you have some hopeful things to clutch to, you can get through the rough stuff easier than having nothing to cling to. Always wishing you the best.
