This is incredible but bizarre. And it's also very funny, I'm serious.
LOL.
Thanks for your work! I really enjoy these pictures. |

You're very talented, enjoyed looking at the re-creations. I have a friend who has I love Lucy Dolls in a Lucy Museum & he said he could probably do a Prince Doll if he wanted to. You seemed to have this market cornered though, esp since you have a great admiration of Prince. My fave was him in his black leather outfit on his motorcycle PR era. Have u had your + sign today? | |

Thank you so much for sharing your project and musings with us! A fascinating read
Your puppet images are such a tonic - lovin' the Lovesexy images the most - but they're all great
Parade era shots excellent - and Prince on his Harley a la PR
Love to see some poses for SOTT (my favourite era)
Thank you again | |

Point-blank, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen on this website. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Ultra cool!
I was especially struck by your mentioning that you found Prince's wierdness and confidence at the same time appealing, cause I felt the exact same way...
Thanks! All that bathing in purple rain just can't be good for your health... | |

It was nice reading this article, for me to better understand the nature of your delivery and the cycle of your craft...it's inspiring! I'm totally inspired! Way to go! I'm going to have to link this interview. ALL of these pieces are remarkable!
Especially 'Lovesexy' That's just on another level of COOL!

I agree with WaterInYourBath 
fantastic work Troy Gua Great read!! Troy you're getting popular quickly, I feel so proud hehe This is what I wish would happen: Prince sees & likes your doll, gives you a massive payout for the rights, have it mass produced & sold in music shops or in his Paisley Park studio.  Peace in the House of Prince. | |

LOVED this article! Glad you're getting recognition. Glad it makes you happy, and you are right - it makes us happy too. You were spot on about what makes him so compelling as an artist. I particularly liked this - "his ability to pull off the most bizarre and outrageous stylistic choices with a straight face and complete confidence, and with the hot ladies by his side." Hope the Purple One himself will check it out.

I've read your interview and am glad you're getting the attention for your work, you did an amazing job with all of your " action figures " of Prince. I'd like to see what you could do with David Bowie as he also had a thousand looks to choose from, much applause from my side. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

The one who was real crept out, can hit the DOOR! I realize when people are 'Creeped' out they overcome their feelings privately. For them to address it in public, is just as insane.
It's like having someone yell out in the mall, "I am afraid of monsters!"
Isn't that just insane? lol
Nevertheless!
You are welcome! It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |
