Tomorrow, Dec. 7, is a day of personal anniversaries for me- two exactly- one of them is the fact that tomorrow night it will be exactly to the day four years since I first posted in my original 'Dino Toy Line Questions' thread on the old version of the forum asking members about the idea I had then to make custom prehistoric figures of species and poses etc. that toy lines werent making. A lot has changed since then, now almost four years later to the day you have an actual toy company here asking you to give suggestions what to make, not some lone artist off on his own working in a garage/basement.
I looked back a little and it is interesting to see the species and suggestions that were thrown at me four years ago, as opposed to the ones being tossed out now to Mojo. There were a whole different bunch of suggestors at that time four years ago- a lot of them have seemed to disappeared or at least are not very active members.
I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have collected my works since then, put up with me, shown me patience and support through those four years. If, years after I am gone from this earth, I am known for anything as an artist, it will most likely be for these prehistoric figures that I have made and will make from now til that time. When I was a young artist in my twenties I had assumed my paintings and sculptures which I would reluctuntly use the term 'fine art' to categorize would be my legacy, its funny how things turn out.
