FURTHERMORE:
There was a rather rude comment made "on my behalf" by a friend of mine that "Mike\'s paintjob would be shit without Ryan\'s help." I would like to point out that this is NOT my opinion at all, and this person does NOT speak for me. If I have something to say, you WILL hear it from me. But just because one of my friends says something does not mean that I endorse their opinion.
I DID NOT HELP MIKE IN ANY WAY WITH HIS PAINTJOBS, other than sending a couple of reference pics. I have not painted, drilled, or cut a mask ever in my life. I DESERVE NO PRAISE FOR WHAT MIKE HAS DONE. It is clear as day that I have no more involvement than simply providing Mike the mask to recast, and helping commission the mold\'s creation. Other than that, the show is ALL run by him and he does it VERY well if I do say so myself.
I was not trying to take over his praise. It just seems that everyone decided to tell ME that the mask rocks instead of telling MIKE. Don\'t tell *me* that it looks good. Tell HIM! He\'s the friggin\' painter, for Christ\'s sake.
Don\'t get me wrong. I know things about the screen masks and I have more knowledge of them than the average person. NO BIG DEAL. If you feel threatened by that, then you really shouldn\'t be. There\'s no reason to. No harm is meant by me having knowledge of things. People call me a "know-it-all" for some reason. Maybe they\'re jealous of my knowledge? I don\'t know OR care. I don\'t claim to know everything, and I never will. I\'m simply a collector like the rest of you, and I would like to be treated as such.
I suggest that you all smoke a giant spliff and settle the fuck down, guys.
