W/C is awsome to work with too. They will split tooling and skirting down for nothing. There traditional harness is GORGEOUS. Spent a lot of time talking to Kylie from W/C this weekend at the Sheridan show.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely try them out.

Hey Gray, just wondering about your coloring.  Are you using mostly dye?  Obviously the white is not but I can't tell with some of the other colors. Thanks.

Killer work as usual man! It makes me want to quit, but it is sure fun to dream!

I'm using dyes, inks and blended antique stains. Sometimes I mix in a little beer, coffee or scotch.

Thanks, Battlemunkey. Much obliged!

That is a kind compliment. Thank you. My sense of hummer has always been off. As well as my artistic style. I’m working on some designs for a leather carving competition in March. Knowing that the judges are very traditional in their own carving style, I’m having a hard time deciding whether or not to try to do something more traditional Western/realism  for the competition or stay true to my own weird style/subject matter. I don’t know.

Gray, your "you" part of your work is a huge part to highlight. I think I like your work more than any of the other stuff I've seen because it has that differnce. I say to hell with the judges if they don't get it. Your eye for art is great even if it is a bit different. Like, Picasso and Muddy Waters.

I want to be modest and say the right thing like, “I have no business being compared to those heroes’” but all I’m doing is that happy dog “air scratch’” thing. Thanks, Man!
