Man, I\'ll tell ya. my heart is very warmed right now...
Anywho, just thought I\'d post and let you guys know where I been and what I\'ve been up too. as some of you probably know I\'ve, for the nmost part, given up mask collecting and have been attempting to sell off my collection to good homes. I still love masking, and costuming. But I\'ve come to grips with the facts. lasted rots. inevitable it will ruin, this combined with the fact that for the past 2 and a half years I\'ve been in college living away from home. The home where my mask collection is. which means I don\'t get to check on them as often as I\'d like. Don;t be concerned though, they are all still in just as good a condition as they were when I bought them, with the exceptions, of some poor quality, already very old masks, that I\'m not trying to resell, so be assured that all the masks I\'m selling are in fine condition. the last year of high school and the year I took off between the two was when I was mast active in masking, and since starting college I\'ve wained. No money, no time to think about what I want to spend my no money on. but whilel I;ve been in school I did buy a few items, but not as much as before. I\'m majoring in Art and have been really focusing in on classical art forms, like doing alot of figure drawing, painting, and sculpture. and this past semester I got into print making, mainly because I took print making 1. ha. But I havn\'t had time to do anymore mask making, other then my myers mask I finished just before 2005 ended. one thing I\'ve discovered though, was that startin go sculpture for masks when I was 14 really sharpened my eyes and mind for what I\'m doing now, I;d be far behind where I am now, if it wasn\'t for all the obsurving and practicing I did while making masks. I\'m 21 now. well, Whats I was talking about before, with the warm heart was. I was just attempting to track down my old, selling stuff thread, to bump it. so I search for killnskin, and alot of topic came up that weren;t mine, so I was curious, and started checking some of them out. people, asking about masks that they saw, or heard about and wondering who made it, that they loved it, and it was mine. ussualy most of the advisory was made by my good old friend Steve also known as Goaliehack. Also I was glad to see the pin name Jman stick around, I made that up you know. ha. I don\'t know, it was just nice seeing that people gave a shoot about me and my past works. I even really like seeing people resell stuff that bought off me, or stuff that bought of someoen who bought from me. makes me feel like a real mask maker, and not just the hobbiest I was. There was even one kid who said, after being told his mask was made by me,"I didn\'t know this was made by the Killnskin, now I\'m really happy." Thats nuts.
Now you know where I am and what I\'m doing. I won\'t be around a whole lot. but if anyone ever wants or needs to get ahold of me my email is silenceisconsent@gmail.com, also I\'m on myspace and facebook. also sorry to all my friends I used to talk to all the time on AIM. since starting to school, I;m never on aim because I never had a computer of my own with access since my freshman year. But now I do get access, wirlessly from my neibour, but I try to stay on only as long as I have too so I don;t drain all his bandwith. on top of that I have the idea that my other neibour is doing the same thing as me. but I do check my email and myspace a good bit. so if you need me, that\'s where I am. I\'m glad to know people still remember me even though I\'m not here. I still think about all my old buddy alot. hope your all doing good, and hope to hear from you in the future.
