Well, we reached day buhbillion of the LA County Fair.. I’m all hopped up on pain meds for a herniated disc in my back so if you catch me now I’m at my friendliest, I’m makin’ uncomfortably long eye contact, and you never know where the conversation will go… I’m in Building 6 Aisle C.

Dearest Friends,
I am writing to you from day 1,428 of the LA County Fair. My diet has only consisted of Donut Burger Mega Melts, deep fried Tw***ie Poppers and Onion Ring Pork Explosions and my only hydration has come in the form of Lemonade Pickle Blasters with extra chamoy.. At night I cuddle up with my giant, stuffed, slightly copyright infringing SpongeBob Rectanglepants which I won on day 840 from a highly competitive game of Balloon Blazing Battle Bunkers. My only companions now are carnies and goats. I'm finding I have better conversations with the goats and they chew on my shoes less. I'm not sure when I'll see civilization again, but if you send help for me you'll probably find me on the Twizzly Death Twister Supreme or the coma inducing Crunchy Concussion Coaster. I'm not sure how much longer I can take... Hey, you'll find me in Building 6 Aisle C. Send help...

Today it happened! The pig petting took place and the free framed print was awarded! What a great start to my day.. If you have no idea what I’m talking about then just check posts from the last two weeks. I’m protecting the identity of the person so they don’t get in trouble, but I am so thankful! Hey, I’m at the LA County Fair today through Monday in Building 6 Aisle C from 11am to 10pm

For some reason during 2020 I was looking for ways to pass the time. I can’t seem to remember why now.. I had always wanted to sculpt wacky versions of the Universal Monsters and it suddenly seemed like my opportunity came. This guy is about ten inches tall, hand sculpted from polymer clay, and built over a welded copper wire armature with a Jack In the Box antenna ball inside of him.
After I finished all of the sculptures I wanted to complete I still had extra time on my hands. I still can’t remember why.. It was then that I decided to hire someone to do 3D scans of these sculptures so that I could sell much less expensive resin prints and keep the originals. That’s what I did. I learned how to do resin 3D printing so that I could make reproductions and sell them at my shows. At first they did very well.
Then about a year and a half later plastic 3D printing became extremely popular and every show I did had three or four booths selling 3D prints of items they had nothing to do with creating and they were printed in color. This became the end. It was a losing battle trying to explain the difference between resin, hand painted prints of my own creations and all of the other 3D prints which could sell for the price of cheap toys that were just stolen designs. I don’t regret any of it. It was so fun. I’ll be selling off my last few complete painted sets and I’m selling the resin printer. I also have lots of the smaller ornament versions. Details will be coming soon.

My pig offer from yesterday still stands. Surprisingly nobody took me up on the offer. If you don't know what I'm referring to please check yesterday's post. Somebody bring me a pig..

Yesterday a man approached my booth and then thoroughly rubbed my framed canvas prints that are at the front of my booth for a good 30 seconds to “see if they’re originals” and then seemed completely confused when I explained to him that I don’t bring originals to the Fair because people like rubbing them too much…
Hey, I must be at the LA County Fair for day 8! I’m here til 10 in Building 6 Aisle C..
