Thank You For Your Inquiries!
At this time we are not offering custom work, sales from our inventory or shipping.

Why?

We make everything here in our West 30th St Studio. Nothing is outsourced so replacing or duplicating is not a simple matter.
Crating and shipping is time consuming and expensive.
