Hey Chris,
I think you address a lot of importent issues, but you have never ordered a mask from me Also you are wrong about the masks on this websight. Every mask on this website has been sent out to the customer who ordered it before the pictures where even posted. I don't even have a personal copy of the KNIFE WIELDER. Every mask I make is allready sold, and I don't even get the time to make myself one. To be honest with you as an artist I'm never satisfied 100% which is why I don't just make one version of the KNIFE WIELDER. Personally I have to improve with every mask I do otherwise I would be bored to death, and quit makeing them all together. It takes me on average 1 week to make 1 mask. That I agree with you 100% on is stressful. Especially when orders are backed up. I won't do it any other way though. I don't even like selling defects. The only reason I sell them is because I know there are people out there who really want this mask, and HONESTLY can't afford to buy one. I figure this way they at least get the chance to own one even if it isn't perfect. As far as defects go I don't plan on putting a lot of time into them. I figure someone else can put the time into them. After all I charge $250. per mask because of the time it takes me to make one.
Well other than the fact that you havn't ordered a mask from ME, and don't know what MY practices are I agree with you 100% hehehe
If people are gonna spend $250. on a mask then in my opinion it shouldn't be made before they order it
Take Care,

P.S. If you want to order a mask
from me e.mail me.

: Lets start at this place first. Oh though this
: guy makes very impressive mask and is well
: deserving of his mask(s) being called 'eye
: candy' theres still other issues that need to
: be addressed. The masks that are currently up
: on this site are for advertisement purposes
: only. When you order you are not getting
: EXACTLY what you are seeing in the picture.
: For example, When you see those delicious
: NICELY prepared Big Macs on a big mac truck
: and you say to yourself, 'I would sure like
: to have a Big Mac like that one. Well if you
: know where im getting too, then i'd rather
: not go on, but i know theres still a few out
: there that is wondering what in the world am
: i talking about. Well if you go back and read
: the 'Big Mac' part slowly you will
: understand. And it relates to these and other
: masks very well. When you step into
: Mcdonald's to order a 'Big Mac' or any other
: sandwich, its rarely that you get a nicely
: prepared sandwich that looks just like the
: one off the truck. Thats a prime example of
: what should be expected when you step into
: the world of purchasing mask(s). Not just
: from this feller but tons of other companys
: as well. Some masks, are made to order just
: like most 'Big Mac' is. Not enough care, Not
: enough Careful preparation. Why you ask?? ...
: Well it all depends in the artists that makes
: the mask itself. If they dont put dedication
: and the love into making the mask like its
: supposed to look then you get something that
: your not really going to be happy with. So in
: general it's up to the person who makes the
: mask to make you happy. Considering only if
: they produce the mask as extremely like the
: one advertised, if so be it thats the way
: your wanting your mask. You get what you pay
: for and always remember that, so its up to
: you the buyer to do the math and make sure
: before you shell out your hard earned cash
: for a mask that isnt very 'eye appealing'.
: The best tatic in getting a VERY GOOD Myers
: mask or any other mask for that matter is to
: be persisitent and patient witht the person
: that is making your mask. You got to keep in
: my mind that these guys are under alot of
: stress trying to produce other order(s) from
: other people just like yourself. If you rush
: them to much then they are going to make a
: mask for you like Mcdonald's makes hamburges.
: (with no care). Make sure also, you specify
: what detaisl you want in the mask, if your
: not with explaining detail and for example
: want a mask just like the one used in
: Halloween 2 then be open and blunt with your
: mask maker. Remember your paying some big
: bucks here for a mask, and its you that is
: going to determine whether the mask makes the
: grade or not. Most of these mask makers dont
: take the time, nor the passion to produce a
: highly great looking replica of a Myers mask.
: I wasnt blessed witht the artistic skills
: these mask artisit's have but if i was, and
: was getting $250 or more for a mask you
: better beleive i would take the time and
: produce the best mask for my customer. So
: buyers, think about what your buying and what
: you could possibly end up with. Unless,
: Guaranteed assurance is granted to you from
: the mask maker that the mask is going to look
: like you want it too or atleast darn close i
: would be weary.
: Im not trying to give this company here a
: 'black eye' im just advising you the
: customers of what they should and need to
: know about buying a mask from anyone.
: By the way to the mask maker of this site, If
: you could produce me a Myers mask as close as
: possible to the one in the H2 picture i would
: be an extremely happy camper. I mean with the
: dirty worn look, yea the whole nine yards.
: That would be be awesome!
