I went to London for five days and had such a great time. I finally was able to meet the Artist Alex CF in person. I have ordered items from him before, but always eager to meet him in person.
He is such a nice guy and the best artist when it comes to bizarre creatures I've ever seen. Of course I couldn't leave empty handed, so I bought the werewolf below: http://alexcf.com/blog/?page_id=223 isn't he gorgeous!!?? Please look at his weppage, and see what he does: http://alexcf.com/blog/?page_id=6 He also does comissions, whatever you can think of.

I must say I bought 2 times from him and had to strip everything and start from scratch. Why buy fakes when there are real ones around?!
It looks ok on picture but you can't use it as a real thing. Lost over £ 1000 on the transactions... If this is your thing, go ahead, but to me it was a waste of money! |

I am sorry you've had a bad experience, but I am sure we didn't order from the same Alex CF.
He has been ripped off numerous times in the past, I assure you, these: http://www.alexcf.com are the original ones. Everything I bought was in 1A Condition, and outshines the pictures by far.

I paid 650£ (thats over $1000) for one item, for which he provided a great story set in the mid-eighteenhundreds. What joy to see that all bottles were recent ones, that my main subject was kept in an old mayonaise-jar (albeit sealed with sealing wax!?), that the main content of my box was straw and that the main component was latex!
When performing with something like this, you look like a FOOL! Don't think your audience is stupid: it wouldn't be the first time magicians take the laymen for granted, and while it's a kick to some to swivelcut to a lost card to general awe, when you're a bizarrist, you need to be more, a LOT more! And papier maché or latex things will kill a story before you even tell it. Read anything Christian Chelman has written about this! |

I don't own a piece..however, from the new user's description, and the objects for sale on the site - it looks like it was made by two different people from the description...

To Jef Pedal:
Yes, please post some images, I really wonder if you ordered from the same guy. As I said before, Alex was ripped off lots of times from guys that used his storys, his concept but the items were made poorly.

Do you guys have e-mail addresses? I've been trying to upload a couple of pictures but even though they're jpg's and way beyond 75 KB, they won't upload.

That should be 'below' 75 KB... 8-)
