FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (...so I don't spend eight hours a day answering perfectly valid but repeat questions) Q#1: "Can you make a custom doll that looks like me? - and how much would it cost?" A: Sorry, It is an extremely time consuming process and involves costly materials. Unless your name is Walt Disney or Matty Mattel, I will assume you do not want to pay the $5,000 + that it will cost to sculpt an entirely new figure from scratch. Just a unique, personalized head, to be created for an existing Booty Babe statue will cost $1,000 (just to give you an idea.) Q#2: Can you make a Custom piece like "Cupid's Mom" but with red hair and blue eye shadow, like "Bubble Gum" on a red base? A: Feel free to submit your ideas and suggestions. Who knows, your suggestions may influence the design of a piece that will later become available in the "Custom" category of the website. I am, on occasion, inspired by the suggestions that I receive. The Custom category though should perhaps be called "Customized." Because that's really what these pieces are. They are designs that I put together, as I was inspired to, on my own time, for the fun of it! (This yields more inspired results.) If I am going to create a piece of your design, this sort of Custom order requires full payment up front and will generally be $300 and up, providing there is no unique sculpting required.. Updated Aug 4th 2008: I have officially NO TIME for custom orders until further notification. We've got a baby on the way and much needs to be done to prepare our home for our new arrival! Q#3 What's up with the Contest? Is it going on now? A: The Contest, as we knew it, is on hiatus until further notification. It was a lot of fun and we made some great friends along the way but I'm afraid it got to be TOO time consuming for one person to handle. Q#4: "Can I use your logo on my website, T-shirt, etc." A: No. There are banners in my Miscellaneous section that are exclusively available to those wishing to use these banners to publish links to my web site. (At the risk of sounding like an ass hole) - I never thought that I would be teaching the masses about basic business practice: Unless otherwise noted, I am the owner and Copyright holder of all images, photographs and or graphic representations found on this website - Yes, that means the silhouette logo too. (The logo is a large part of the brand identity that I have worked very hard to create over the past several years .) Booty Babe Art, in words and as a graphic design, is a Trademark Registered through The United States Patent and Trademark Office. If you would like to purchase licensing rights and negotiate a royalty agreement, feel free to contact me. If you would like to use my images without permission, to sell your own products / services, then you may likely be hearing from my corporate attorney. Q#5: "I noticed that you are out of the one called 'Milk Chocolate.' When will you be making more? A: The styles found in the "Affordable Art" section are limited edition. That means that they were created in limited quantities and are not going to be re-issued as cold-cast porcelain statues. Some of the newer styles were produced in quite small quantities so - if you REALLY like a particular style, I recommend you get 'em while you can, 'cause when they're gone, they're gone! Q#6: "Who was your model for these things!?" A: For the basic poses and sculpting - I draw inspiration from many sources to create an individual sculpt. My wife plays a very important role as a willing participant in the process. I also take reference from fashion magazines, adult websites and magazines, classic pin-up art, and contemporary illustrators. That is to say, one particular model might have a great pair of thighs while I'm inspired by the way a certain comic book artist draws ankles... I take all of these references and cobble them together to create something new. Q#7: I purchased the "Room Service" Babe. I was wondering, do you make Custom clothes for people who already own a Booty Babe like myself... I was thinking of a light blue mini skirt to match or any suggestions? A: I do not. Sewing is my Kryptonite. You wouldn't want to pay me for what little sewing I could do in an hour. What I suggest: Go to TARGET. Get over the embarrassment of being in the women's section (if you're a guy) and find the stockings, a.k.a. Panty Hose. They are SUPER stretchy and come in all sorts of colors. Pick out an XS pair in the color that suits your fancy. Now tuck it between the peanut M&M's and the Star Wars ACTION FIGURE that you plan to buy and proceed to the check-out. When you get home, find the most narrow section of the stockings; the ankles. Cut a straight, approximately two inch wide band. Congrats - you have just made a mini-skirt or a tube top for your your "Room Service," customized by YOU. Thanks for viewing the Frequently Asked Questions page! Sincerely, Spencer Davis |
