This video is of my friend Andy. When I was 13 I got drunk and threw a pool ball as hard as I could straight at his face. He dodged it, laughed, and introduced me to the R. Crumb/ Neil Blender style keep-on-truckin rock fakie. Now he operates a small wood shop in Vancouver where he has made a miniscule number of the first ever Predatory Bird products. I’m pretty sure this is the only time we will use this particular process. There are 50, some of which are completes with Thunders Deluxe made specially, thankyou Deluxe.

Nice video! I noticed it looked like he sprayed the glue on…anyway you could tell me what type of glue that is?

“PVA. Water based.” he says. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much! I had no idea you could spray that…brilliant!
