Okay I'm posting this in the slab just because I want the picture safe for now. This is a 1:1 Mike Hill Keaton bust that I have had for 9 years. I had one of the first pulls he ever did of it. I had a blast painting it up and installing surgical glass eyes in it. It has served as a fun prop for many Halloweens. And like many other things in my collection - it is now for sale! (Or will eb as soon as it gets on ebay) I did this fun photoshop version quickly and thought you guys would like it. In case you thought I never did any other kinds of Batman besides Adam West.   |

That is pretty awesome! Scot.
You did an amazing job on the paint aplication. I can see remnants of a 5 oclock shadow, Brilliant piece.
Be sure to let us know when it goes on the block.

You know I like it!
Very cool!
You must have all the stuff!
It must suck to have so much that you can get rid of cool stuff like THIS! ;D
Color me envious.

Well, remember I've been doing this probably a decade longer than you, Les (cause I am an old fogey) and I have been collecting seriously since 1986. (actually many things in my collection were with me in 1967 as well)
When I first started customizing in 1988 - I advocated taking trades for my work. So, years later I have a ton of crap, yes.
About every 5 years, I re-evaluate, refine and purge. This piece is beautiful - but too big for my current collecting parameters.

Damn Scooter, nice paint Job ! I love the eye's!  Is that Bust as big as your Boy, or is that the computer? Anyhow, looks great either way. Fantasic Job. |

This is eerily life-like. It must represent something of a sacrifice to part with. This is really fine work, museum quality.

It must represent something of a sacrifice to part with. Thanks. No - never hard to part with. It's all just STUFF. |
