What makes your process different to other artists?
The tools, I’ve been lucky to acquire some very hard to find blacksmith tools. This in turn lets me make more tools to facilitate the creative process.

“I do not price the word cheap. It is not a badge of honor. It is a symbol of despair. Cheap prices make for cheap goods, cheap goods make for cheap men, and cheap men make for a cheap country.” – William McKinley
