i love that my pricing always causes a debate...
the fact that there are people on both sides of the fence paying attention to my work is cool...
@burb: thanks for the support

...
@nescent: i do take commissions...
i usually have one a month on my schedule...
prices start at $200 for a single mini, and this guy is an example of my basic standard...
@Manchu: if these minis didn't sell at this price, i wouldn't be asking for so much...
the market sets the price...
i have to eat, so i set my price at what the market will support...
my painting is in it's own little niche, the top-quality one...
not only is this a rare
LE mini, with a good paintjob, but it is also the work of an award-winning, professional, veteran of the mini industry...
i have paid my dues in a big way for the last decade...
it's about time all my hard work pays off...
you don't have to agree...
you don't have to like it...
you don't have to give me your hard-earned money, so it's all good...
@ lictors_lovemachine: thanks for the endorsement

...
Portland is cool, but i'm a surfer dude from Redondo Beach, California, so i'm a little lost here so far from the waves...
i'm itchin' to get back to Mazatlan...
what store do you hang out at here in town...
maybe we can link up so you can get a look at my work in real life...
it's much better than the pics...
thanks again, guys...
cheers
