Thanks for the input, Bart. Support is support, and every little bit counts, and you have to start somewhere. You seem pretty condescending, but I appreciate the effort and will try to see your comments in a positive light.

Apparently, pointing out facts is considered being condescending these days.

Even though I agree with many of your posts you do have a way of putting things just about as negatively as possible. So sometimes it's not what you type...it's HOW you type it And I'm not starting any kind of back and forth here...I'm just adressing your post.

THANKS 4 THE LOVE, FRIENDS!!!

XOXO~TG

I'm really liking the graffitti bridge looks. gold chain!

They look like unused Team America props.

I mean that as a compliment

I hope PRINCE appreciates all the effort Troy Gua has put in 'Le Petit Prince', just saying! By the way Troy... You Rock as an Artist!

Your work is awesome!

Amazing how you managed to mimic his intense look. A puppet with emotion!

You did a great job on Prince his most pivotal limb; his beloved guitar.

So, did you send that t-shirt in his size to him? He might wear it

and I take it as a compliment - LPP is totally modeled after the Team America look and its predecessors (the work of Gerry Anderson)

Yeah, that picture should win some type of international award or something. I've never seen anything like it.

Hey Troy, it's too bad you're not some random 21 year old female. If you were, Prince would have contacted you to build an exhibit at his shows months ago.

Are there any other living musical artists you could make dolls for like this, who would actually appreciate and support your brilliance?

Haha!! Thank u so much - I love the way u think!

And yeah, u may be right there...oh well - if *U* appreciate the work, that works 4 me. Maybe one day I'll get a call...

Bruce Springsteen?

Hey, I just happened to find this article/interview with you about Le Petit Prince. I didn't know that Questlove was hip to the doll! I love the idea of having a showing of your work, with music spinning and lights. Hope it all happens for you!

Thanks! Yeah, a few notable folks have gotten hip 2 it: Mathieu Bitton (an all-around amazing artist who is currently filming a Lenny Kravitz documentary), Touré (a Princephile and well-known music journalist), and Stephen Parke (former official Paisley Park artist) have all contacted me 2 express their love of the project. It's humbling, 2 b sure.

Here's a little clip of the exhibition case I built 4 LPP: http://www.youtube.com/wa...skeC3c9dxQ
