Gorilla Flask

[Silverback]

Hmmm Do you reckon you could do something with this design Eric? (gorilla only not text) It's a logo I had done by a friend a few years back and is exclusive to my gym. I have often thought it would be nice to have a powerlifting belt with the logo on for when I compete. I have the original artwork (this is just a photo of one of my T shirts)

cool picture silverback - that would look sweet on a belt. of course, we large primates appreciate fine art...

Amen brother simian - I have a huge collection of gorilla based stuff including a 45 kilo statue of Guhonda (the silverback of the Diane Fossey troop) that sits in my bedroom (much to the annoyance of my wife ). I also have a sandicast lifesize head which is just amazing and now very rare - gotta love gorillas I have ever since I first laid eyes on one. My family find it absolutely hilarious that I point blank refuse to watch the end of King Kong (no joke and I realise bordering on the lines of worrying )

Anyhow here's the sandicast for a fellow appreciator I couldn't put the pics up of mine as photobucket is currently down for maintenance so this one is borrowed from the web. This is lifesize remember and the eyes are incredible I will update this pic with mine when the site is up again

You two should have gone out to Cameroon with my Brother-in-Law, he was out there for 5mths at a gorilla sanctuary. Only think though you probably would be alot smaller in stature now. He was 19.5st(solid) when he went out and after 5mths he came back weighing in at 14st(Skinny).
He's completely gorilla mad aswell!

Yes mate, that one is no problem. It's designs that have multiple colours and different shades and contrasts that are problematic. PM me if you want to discuss it further. I can do powerlifting belts. Bit like a lurcher collars only much bigger.

I have seen that in the flesh both at the Comicon and a video store, it is a stunning piece but both versions had sustained damage so buyer beware. The 'buy it now' is overpriced as it was up for 1.5k at the Comicon. The first bust in my pics is an original Jeff Taylor who did a series of Tarzan pieces based on the comic versions and he is widely regarded as the best in the business.
