Neat collection! I stop to think you may have a room full of these masterpieces for yourself. I am jealous.

Some BIG thanks to those who made these possible.

Thanks to Phil Benes, Alan Rengering, Kelle Mitchell, the GCAC, and the ACA of course. Huge thanks also to Ken Davis (Fishfarm) for getting my work off the ground in Atlanta last year.

And LI!
Mega sponsorship keeps ACA strong which keeps Loach43 commisioned.

Thanks much! Wish the American Livebearer Association would change their middle initial to Loach. I'd have a blast doing an exact replica of your avatar for the best of show award. I'd also not miss an American Loach Association convention!
sigh...just a beautiful dream.

btw, the Rally mentioned in passing that you had 75 clown loaches. Is this true? That's like...$%#@&^^!!+_)!!!!
If you have pics, please give me the link. gotta see.

great craftsmanship

Thanks. I wear jewelers goggles when I paint them. If my wife comes in with a plate of food I often stab myself in the nose with a fork until my eyes adjust back to normal.

Keep smoking those metaframe tanks out of their holes and you'll definately get some more

and thank you Andy from Ohio. Betting you will see these in person.

I hope so. I have a friend who has a hotel room for the whole convention, so I should make it down there at least one day
