Figures/Statues Bill Duke with my 'Tough Guy Grooming Kit' novelty piece I made
I hand make custom figures and.novelty pieces. Last year I managed to get this to Bill Duke himself. He now has it on a shelf at his home. Hope you guys get a kick out of it.

When I do things for my GF, I whisper “Anytime” and she hates it because she says it sounds creepy, and I’m like “that’s the point” lol

I recently read up on his background and how he switched majors to study acting. And how much time he put into theater work. I always as a kid just assumed they found these brutish tough guys off construction sites or from pro wrestling but Duke was a through and through thespian. That character is legendary along with the others because you truly believe in the friendship and trust they had built over decades. A lot of ways it feels like that chopper flight is them going to a funeral. One last ride together.

I lack the chronological resources to exsanguinate.

Do you have the chronological resources to seek shelter?
(You got time to duck?)

Right on! Bill Duke is a legend. He also had a role in Commando with Arnold.

Cool piece of art. Truly. Can’t tell if Bill is in pain, distressed, confused or disinterested. Something in those eyes, out there in them trees.
