I've received a number of questions as to whether I take commission requests, so I thought it would make a good Journal entry :)    The answer is that I most certainly do.  In fact, most of the things you see me post are commissions from people with outstanding taste (hehe).  I can get just about anything made if you have the money to fund it!


I can be reached most easily by my email, Johnsonarms76@gmail.com.  Sometimes I am super-fast to respond to emails, .   It can sometimes take me a few days to respond, but that's usually me doing a bit of research before I respond to ya.  (I like to put on the guise of being a business professional... and that takes some time, lol).  If it's been more than a couple days though, please send me a reminder, just in case the first email got lost or missed!

Thank you for the interest in my painting, you folks make it a lot of fun to do :)

Thought it time for a re-write of all this after a year!


Thank you for visiting my page, I appreciate your interest in what I do. What do I do exactly? I'm not sure yet to be honest...but for the time being, I am a maker of custom props and painter of replicas. I work primarily in paint so what you see in the photos is all paint. There are a few times where this is not the case, but I generally point this out. I am seeing a bit of a move towards incorporating painted and non-painted parts to make a final product where you can't see where the real ends and the trickery begins, hehe.

I do work a lot with Nerf guns and those from similar brands. They're a blast and until I can afford the CNC machines, Ol' Brian has to work with what he can get his hands on. I do keep some functional when I don't have to muck around with the guts. Others are purely fantasy guns that look great with that insanely expensive HALO costume you just commissioned, heh. I also have a love for all things Steampunk and although my work would not show up at the definitive definition as such, I do feel they complement they style nicely and I'll strive to get better at making them.

So please have a look through my past year of playing Santa's helper. I hope you'll find something you enjoy and please feel free to contact me if you have something you need built to order. "If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time!" lol

All the best and thank you for you comments, support and friendship. You guys make it all worth while :)

Your gallery is sick. If I ever make like, a high-budget steampunk movie, I'm gonna fly you over to Sweden and you'll make lots of guns for me. Capisce?

They usually go their new owners. Occasionally I do something for myself, but I eventually find those a good home too :)

They would be very cool to make and I do love the Borderland 2 look and feel. I have a few related projects already in the works and I think you may approve. :)

I hope you'll understand that I can't do quotes like that. It looks very nice though, I'm sure you will get a decent amount for your time spent :)
