I started out Hockey Mask painting after trying to purchase myself a Hockey Mask over here in the uk and realising that there were not many makers (or if there was too hard to find!) i know we have excellent artists like Andy (wheelspin) over here but at the time there was a lack of hockey masks for sale on ebay and i saw an opportunity to appeal to the uk collectors never for a second thinking i would sell overseas to like the USA when you have such well known and respected artists, so all this has been a bit of a whirl wind experience for me but one i\'m enjoying so much and it\'s such a great kick when you create something that someone else likes enough to add to their collection.
So as far as it being hard to let them go martoch, i get a bigger kick out of the fact that someone will be excited about receiving their RDP Hockey Mask and love it as much as i did when i got my first Hockey Mask, you know the box turning up then the tearing and throwing the packaging out!
So there you have it, my basic aim is to make everyone happy!
Money was never the object behind RDP, i dont have a great job or big house so i wont lie and say i dont care about the money i get paid, it all goes toward my kids really and making sure they have a good start in life, which is why i do appreciate any constructive criticism as i want to get these right, i\'m a big fan of other makers you have in the states like mike at FOD and for mike to come on here and say \'great work\' as well as all the other kind comments really makes it worth all the hours i put in, so thank you all again.
