Still around, and still trying to get the Chris head painted and finished and off to where he needs to go. No worries from my end. I will get him done soon.
In the meantime, a really cool story to share with you all here, with a nod to Chris in the mix...
Some time back, about a year now, I sold my personal ALIENS Bishop figure custom, complete with Chris' patches on him, to a girl named Ashley Kuehnel. She had contacted me about it after seeing it on my site, and wanted one, and I went ahead and sold her mine.
She recently went to a convention and got actor Lance Henriksen to sign it personally!
Here is Ashley, Lance and the figure! You can see his auto on the base!
Besides being a cutey herself, Ashley was sweet enough to tell Lance the story of the figure, that he had met me before, and that the patches on the figure were made by Chris, and how he had died, and how the figure had come into her hands.
A wonderful story.
I am glad it worked out that way. He was just gathering dust on my shelf, and now, he is ROCKING and standing for my work, and of course, for Chris, it was shown to and shared with the guy that played the role, and he knows of Chris now, if he didn't already.
I am honored it ended up this way.
By the way, actor Doug Bradley, ole Pinhead himself, was sitting next to Lance, and Ashley told me he was playing with the figure a lot, and that also thrills me! My old Bishop figure is having the best time ever free from my clutches! LOL!
That is all I ever hope for for any of my works, that they get seen and shared. And for us, that Chris' assistances to our own custom ALIENS figures, and his memory, lives on!
Thanks Chris! Wherever you are, enjoy this one!
