Ron Weber is my Wingman!!!!


So I get a very cool job for one of my heroes... Roy Brizio.I mean.... I am totally geeking out!
After a few initial ruffs, a design is picked and away we go...In my biz...you always have 10 different things going in 20 directions and I was beating the band hard to meet the deadline. Long story short. the Illustration worked but I fell waaay short on the type elements. The boss and head Honcho Kim Evans laid it on the line... The design sucked! At any moment I am about to perform Seppuku.
Tired and overdrawn(no pun intended) I was at a loss.
In Steps the Mighty,mighty Ron Weber..............
Ron is a very self effacing guy... humble to a point and has so much natural talent......I think he has a big Superman "S" under his Andy's Tee! His art is super human and his design skills are off the hook! Ron saddles up and in less than 24 hours rescues the day. Again.... Ron makes me look like a hero.
I cannot thank him enough. Kimmy is a happy camper and so am I .(Sidenote: Kim is very honest and forthright... All steak. no grizzle..and by that I mean she tells it like it is and I have so much respect for that)More about the wonderful Miss Kim in a future Blog.
So Rock'in Ron sends me a proof back for me to approve(and in my biz...this rarely EVER happens) and I am stunned at what his talent and ability has done.
He shoots!..He SCORES!!!!!..... basically Ron saved my Tookie...... big time.
Ron is a master at pre pro,film work and has the keenest eye for design.He can also really draw like a bandit.
Ron is my Wingman..... and I can sleep at nights.

Diamond Deuce...1/24 Scale!!!!!!






So about 8-9 months ago I get a message from a certain fella... Paul Scott out of Kentucky. A certified Gearhead since birth... he has a great ability(unlike me) to build very cool models.
I was very astonished when I was shown his latest creation.... The Diamond deuce in 1/24 scale!!!
I was floored!!!
Scratch built and honed to perfection..I am simply amazed at how much killer work he has put forward!... the devil is in the details and Paul has left nothing to spare....
Headers,nerf bars,stance,color and bed....wow...........

I,... on the other hand was the kid who got paw prints all over the windsheild.

Awesome,awesome work Paul....and Thank you!

Start them Early!






My good pal Paul Dunbar(he owns the World renowned James Boys) is getting ready for the birth of his Granddaughter..... Paul is an excitable creature and is not one for holding back.
He has a plan in mind and has all ready got the little tyke's race car ready!
Best wishes to the Dunbar's all way around and I am sure Grandpa is already measuring up a fire suit for the future minnie Speedster!

Way too go Paul!
