this idea has been rolling around in the back of my mind for quite some time ... Legend of Zelda's own Link demolishing an upright video game cabinet in some sort of a ''Video Game Dungeon'' -- kind of a Mini-Boss, but the reward is not going to be an extra play, that's for sure !

for some time i've wanted to put a sign above the garage door. something like the old taverns had, way back when. eventually Zelda came to mind as a possible subject, and after studying the artwork IN the games (on the ranch, outside cafes, etc) decided to use a playful image of Link with Makar, one of the cutest characters from Wind Waker

has it been over a month ? so much has been happening, i've only now caught up. a bit caught up, anyway
Brock, as all of you know, is a one-half Swedish, one-half Polish, and one-half Winnebago murder machine - and that does not mean he blows up when he is in a collision. a fixture from The Venture Bros. TV show, he serves as Dr. Venture's bodyguard
i'll shell out for a Dr. Girlfriend action figure, but not for Brock, apparently. finally saw a doll at Goodwill that had a shaved head, and ordered some yellow epoxy ... painting the skin tones was a disaster - tried oil paints, which never dried, but rather smeared. mixed some enamel paints to approximate the skin tone and got satisfactory results
Ken doll (GI Joe) with crew cut, sculpted epoxy, oil and enamel paints - ha ! you can still see a bit of fluff on his nose !
