Les' backlog situation (for the uninitiated)

Les Walker is the #1 guy in the custom buisness today...

Believe me sir it is an honor to have my stuff painted by you! As I've said before I've been a fan for awhile and am in true awe of your work especially since I've done my fair share of customs and painting and wouldn't and couldn't even come close to doing as good a job on my own figures a you could with them. Sending them to you is a no brainer for me! So your talents are well appreciated in my eyes.

In a couple months, maybe less if I've saved up enough spare dollars here and there, if the offer still stands, I'd love to send you the remaining heads!

P.S. Looking forward to seeing that Bond page up on your site once things slow down a bit for you!

That is fantastic news Les, and I am so very happy you are catching up man. I know I have been doing the same as of late, and it is very liberating to get done with 6 figures in one night!... Really lightens the stress load.

Thanks Shai. I don't think my record says that so much! But I sure appreciate your kind words. Always love hearing from the great MAKER himself!

Raymond, when I am caught up, your Bonds are on my mind! Keep up with me about them and I will make sure you are in early when my new system starts up. Thanks so much.

Thanks Josh. As always, DO I EVER OWE YOU!

Things going like gangbusters! Got some shipping and a LOT more painting to do, so let me get to it. Thanks all, and know stuff is coming! SOON!

Couple of quick updates on my Mom today. ( I thought I would keep such reports out of my work threads now, especially my new one...) Some good and some bad news about her health. Good is that some details of her lungs seem better. And she got a lot of support at her Plan of care meeting this morning. Bad is that she MIGHT have TB. FUN STUFF! Seems she also has an aortic aneurism, dilated 4.2 cm, though not totally threatening, still is a possible threat. Read up on aortic anuerisms and google along with John Ritter for a scary read. Now she AND my dad have one each. It's catching!
Anyway, long day out with her, and got back a little while ago. I will report about work related in those threads. Thanks all. It helps to vent this stuff some. Hard to supress fears all the time alone.

 

[superdoug]

hang in there les we're praying for you.

 

[abake]

Damn Les, that's bad news.
Sorry to hear about it bro.

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks guys. Had a bit of a sleepless night last night due to it, but I am back at things again. Appreciate teh thoughts and prayers. We needs em!

 

[Batty]

Stay strong, Les. What you're doing for your parents is more important than anything else. I wish you and them well.

Info about Ma today. Today just happens to be her 72nd Birthday. I gave her a small DVD player and some movies that I had that she liked, so that seemed to please her. That's the good news.
Bad news is, she spent all night packing her bags, thinking we were gonna ship her off to another hospital, and fell, and hurt her hips and rip, no breaks or fractures there, but did fracture her right arm in two places. So, (sarcastic) FUN FUN FUN on Mama's Birthday.

Won't stop me or mess up my groove on all fronts as it did so often in 08, as I am kinda buffered now with a great staff at the nursing home to care for her, and a better sense of security for her and my own peace of mind, AND I am in a serious work groove now too. So, work won't suffer as badly. Might delay some ship outs for a day, but not much more. Thanks for the kind words and the understanding all.
I tell ya, never let your folks get old!

Les

 

[MaulFan]

That sucks Les, wish you the best my friend.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Sorry to hear that Les, give your ma our best wishes.

 

[superdoug]

well here's to a speedy recovery. nice to hear that the nursing home has taken some of the burden off your shoulders though.

 

[King Darkness]

Damn it Les...

I hate to hear that! I truly home your Ma makes a speedy recovery!!!

 

[uscmhicks]

[2000man]

Best wishes Les and take care!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Damn, that sucks Les... please give your Ma our best for a speedy recovery. And I hope things are going nicely over there in Les land.

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Seeing you post old pictures of heads people got LONG ago doesn't inspire me. Your work is great, but not great enough to allow me to say, "no problem", "take your time". It just burns me up every time I see you post.

You do realize that the Hicks heads posted are in fact all new heads, right?

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Well, whatever you want to belive but I do know in fact they are real and if you wish to call me a lier as well feel free to kiss my ass because I was just trying to help out.

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

You are upset and I can appreciate that, I just don't get the need to come and bash in public when someone is trying to fix the mistakes. It doesn't help anything at all. Unless that is your new goal just forget the head and trash Les...
