    Thank you Jared. I am always driving by every day and seeing him with his costumes puts a smile on my face. People have to see it to appreciate the time and work he's put into these costumes. I hope I get the chance to stop by and tell him thank you. I get a lot of crap moments during the day and seeing him wave to vehicles going by I'm touched. Thank you Jared. I promise to bring something anything food or drinks. He is a amazing person crazy maybe but thank you Jared. Keep doing you Man. 😊

      @@z-super4782 Right on! Appreciate that you dig the art too! It's definitely cool modeling my suits and getting you all smiling!
      So, I'm not sure what you'd wanna know. Obviously it's not my design. I just look at a picture of Warhammer 40k art & I engineer it into something wearable. EVA foam exercise mats that I cut to the size and shape I need, built around a pvc or even tent pole frame. Then it's 5 gallon buckets or barrels for stilts or cut to size & shape of whatever I may need those for. Finally, with some other pieces of junk i can incorporate, some hot glue, LOTS of zipties & some paint, it's a fairly decent one of a kind piece!
      If you ever get the chance, stop by when I'm out and you can see my building skills up close! I'd love to show ya!

    Yay, glad to find out more about these amazing costumes and the artist behind them. We drove by and saw several moving around and waving, so made a few more passes to be sure what we were seeing.
    I'm thoroughly impressed.
    Definitely brightened all of our day.
    Thank you much for this amazing display!

      Yeah, alot of folks say, "we gotta get you out of this situation." Which sounds okay. I mean I'm content and happy but slightly improving never hurt anyone.
      But then my resolve will rear it's ugly head. Meaning, I'm not keen on the idea that someone who was born on this same planet as me is able to charge me to live on it. The idea of paying and working till death to live on land which we don't keep or take with us & when we die, someone else pays to live there is ridiculous. Besides, to anyone that's paid rent on the same land for the last 10 years, tell me what that landlord has done to the property that justifies the exorbitant amount that you're charged now? People need to understand that they've bought into a very bad concept & they're treating it as business as usual.
