Hello. Hope you are well... so how are those eides? Missing your craftiness & humor, so thought I would pop back in on your last video and check in on you. I enjoy your videos very much because I am a lover pf books... New, especially Old, hand made, and repurposed. Hope you didn’t get a sunburn while watching for the eclipse today. Blessings. TmBJ

Hey Nik, today as some other days before i thought of how much you inspired me and made my days lightful in the past. I miss your wonderful videos and seeing your beautiful art. And your personality, your brilliant thoughts that shines through i miss also.
I totally understand how challenging life and health matters might be (seems that it's the "vibe" of these challenging times).
I hope so so much you're doing ok and that your family is feeling ok, too 🙏
Blessings to you and your beloved ones 🙏☀️❤️
What joy if you'd upload a new video one day! But no stress. I'd just be so happy and don't want to stop hoping for that. 🙏🌈🌼🌞

I did workshops with prop hands and movie makeup years ago, and also have some friends in the business today.
Its not that they can not make prop guns look real. The reason they use them is because they need to shoot blankes which have some powder, but no bullet because they have yet to find a way to make the actor look like they are really shooting. Its the recoil reaction they cant seem to yet duplicate in a realistic way.
On a proper set, it is RIDICULOUS how many safety measures there are for using these guns. In this case, so many things led to this mistake. Like dozens....sadly the armor will be the fall guy (yes, she is the biggest part, but not the only....by far). These mistakes happen when corners get cut, and things get rushed. I think we will find out just how many people are involved and how many issues there were as this unfolds. I have heard so many things, cant wait to see if any make this court room.

I keep checking here to see if you are back yet or what has happened to you. Sweet funny Nik - where are you?? Please let us know something?!! Missing you. Prayers and hugs.
