    Who hires out their head painting skills?

    I have been getting inquiries for painted heads.

    However, I am a simple head caster and my painting skills are far too weak to hire them out in all fairness.

    So, I'd at least like to be able to refer people to other head painters with either links to their sites or (with their permission) examples of their work.

    Can you all send me some info...?

    Thanks!

    Dave and I have been partners for years. I have always kept him stocked up on heads and he acted as storefront and painter (and occasional caster).

    But he has moved into semi-retirement from Megos and full retirement from painting.

    So, I'd like to present options to prospective buyers since no one probably wants my paints.

            Her stuff is stunning, and she's terrific to work with.

              Yes.

              In Captain Dunsels final wave, he asked me to take over casting for him. He still acted as his own storefront, I just kept him supplied with casts of his own sculpts. When he finally closed his storefront, he told me I could continue to cast and sell his sculptwork.

              I started sending the Dunsels to Dave who added them to his storefront.

              Now, Dave allowed me to take his pics and old molds (molds to the heads that he actually cast) to continue to offer what he previously did. I'm still sorting through molds and I'm in the midst of another project right now. But I hope to offer most of the same heads that Dave did (with a few subtractions and a few additions).

              My heads can be found here:

                  My heads are generally $10-15 depending on the head.

                  I usually need a weekend to cast since I don't generally cast on weeknights (too much family stuff going on). Depending on circumstances, it could take me 2 weekends to get something cast, but I'm not sure I can ever remember that happening.
