I gotta say, I love your style. It is very reminiscent of the late 60's indy comics, like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Thanks on the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers compliment! The 3rd leather project I ever did was a Freak Bros belt, almost three years ago.

I'm guessing you know the Haight Ashbury section of Cali? Probably not from the 60's though...

I love to see your work.Your style is so cool. I make guitar straps also, and i think our dream is to see one worn on stage by a prominent artist. Congratulations. Perhaps my dream will become true one day.

I spent 8 summers in Berkeley and got to know that era's art really well. I have a small collection of that Family Dog style stuff. Stanley Mouse and Rick Griffin are my favorites. Big influences, definitely. But Freak Brothers was from a Texas guy, if memory serves. I spent a year in Austin once too.

Thanks, Bodean! I'm really excited about it, I'm a fan of the Foo Fighters. There was definitely some pressure (from myself) to create something special. I typically don't have the words, "Don't screw it up. Don't screw  it up. Don't screw it up." ringing in my head so much. So much. 

I got an invite to present it in person, which is pretty cool. It's a big honor. I'm really humbled by it. Honestly, I think most top musicians would love a guitar strap that you made. The hard part is getting it in front of them and making that connection. I'm lucky, I guess. 

And modest. Until I start flexing. Haha.

Gray, I am in awe of your talent. Your style is unique, but based in classic western style. Your carving and coloring are fantastic.

Hay man the eyes are folowin me man.    Nice work, I love it.

I really like how each of your characters has his/her own look and not a copy of the last one you did.  That says talent for sure!
