First off…. Sorry I’ve been away for so long everyone. There have been a few reasons. Which being the (smooth talking) cat I am lol. I will now get into. First off. I was moving out of the AZ HQ. Which was the place from my now famous/infamous vulcan video. I had some health issues that put me down….Almost for the count. Not even joking, and then the move into the new place. We needed so much time to sort through everything that had come from AZ, storage lockers here in LA, and things we shipped from our house in Philadelphia. For the first 3 weeks of being back in LA I got sick again! Bronchitis. So we are now almost nearing the final stages of setup with the LA loft. Which was a ton of work mainly because of its size. Its 5,000 square feet! I made a really really nice workshop. I was finally able to bring together all of the tools from the 3 places. Why one person will ever need to use 3 dremel XPR 400s at once I’ll never know, but its good to have spares. modeling & acting work is starting to take off for me as well. Its sapping a lot of my time. That and working on props and wardrobe for projects here in Hollywood. I’ve had next to no time to create for the site’s inventory. I actually had to turn off Google to keep people from buying. I am opting to just fill the orders that had come in, and am (JUST FOR THE TIME BEING) just taking requests on a deposit first payment upon delivery basis. So if you see something you Absolutely need for a costume or project you aren’t out of luck. Just let me know A. What you want. B. When you need it by C. any other additional info that may be needed. As I said this is only temporary until I get caught up with my current orders and until my current projects here in LA thin out a bit. If you are waiting on something from me feel free to inquire. My email and phone numbers are posted in my contact section. Text messaging is the fastest way to reach me directly. I’m sorry it has taken me this long to get everything together here, but it took a long long time to rebuild everything. There’s even a bunch of things that happened that I just don’t want to talk about. Anyways… So for right now my focus is primarily shoots,acting, and doing props for films, and the custom orders here.

It is really good to be back. Things have seemed to be getting better ever since we got back. I think its just the vibe, and feeling of being back in LA, being submerged in like minded people, and the industries we love. I’ve already done a few really really kickass images. I will post them here tonight when I get home. I’m toying with the idea about losing the store front on this site all together. Don’t misunderstand. I would still leave the galleries, and build things for you all, but when I first envisioned this site it was more about me, and less about my props, and wardrobe.But they took off like crazy! Up until I turned the checkout off I was doing about 35-45 orders every two weeks. It was hard to keep up. I needed to hire help. I don’t know if you guys can recall that? It did get a bit repetitive making the same 25-30 items over and over and over, but its what people wanted:) who was I to deny them that? I used to send the majority of it by carrier pickup. That postal lady hated me with a passion after a while. lol The new one here in LA is starting to feel my sting a bit too! But I told her what I do, and she said shes cool with it. Our door is about two feet from the street. she just pulls the truck up and loads it all up.

I have to run. But in closing… I’m back! and I will be trying to post on here as much a i can. Not just little blurbs either, but video, pics, behind the scenes goodies, sneak peaks, and whatever else I think you all can stand the sight of. All the best and I will talk to you all again soon.

UPDATE: All three of these sold withing 12 hours. Thank you for the quick sales everyone. I honestly did not expect that. I do have some new parts coming in early next week So I can offer one more of these at the same rate with the same shipping. So that will still leave me with one fully complete piece for the display in my store. The following button will be in place until the piece sells and then it will vanish as the first one did. Take care, and I am taking custom orders at the moment. I have the next week still available.

Hello all, First off. I am sorry for being away for so long. I am getting over being very very ill. I will be fine. I had a really bad infection that I was fighting. I almost didn’t win. Luckily I have plenty of people who love me, and my beautiful, loving fiance who never left my side, and took care of me until I was better. I feel like I have been given a second chance, and I am going to make the most of it! Life is a gift, and I have no intention on wasting a single day! Which you will all see in everything that I’m doing, and everything that’s happening in the next few weeks & months. Being as sick as I was for as long as I was created a lot of issues in my life. My reputation to my reputation, but my clients know what I can do, and what I am capable of.

Adrianne and I just finished moving into our new loft in LA, and we are still in the long process of unpacking, but in the process we are coming across a ton of my inventory, and we decided to let what we are not holding onto for our actuall store go here or on our ebay store. I wanted to offer them to people on my site first. The blasters are the first of many items that will be offered,

I have 5 of these in stock right now, I only need two in stock for  the Boutique we are going to open in here in LA so I want to offer the others to my readers and clients! They are boxed and ready to go out, and are being sold on a first come first serve basis. They are all done in the styles that you have all come to know and expect from me. I hope to have these all sold before my Friday fed ex shipments go out.

These are my standard solo blasters featuring my custom wood grain look handles, and my oiled worn steel look paint. It is nearly impossible to tell this thing isn’t the real deal unless you pick it up and notice that its lighter then the real thing. I am very very proud of these, and as far as I know I was the first person to come up with this method of making this prop. They are the same base parts as the blasters offered in the Starwars section of my site.

I am also accepting paypal again. I know, I know, but it is the best way to do business online.I have a button in place with an inventory control in place. once the 3 pieces sell the button will vanish. Shipping on these will be $9.00 anywhere in world! So go nuts. I will also combine shipping with any of the other items I offer on this website. I am going to be working from home for the next few weeks as well, so I will be taking custom orders. So if you have anything you want made let me know. If its not insanely complex I may even be able to have it complete and to you before the holidays.

Also I wanted to talk a bit more about what i was saying about opening a store in LA. This is something that I decided to do a few weeks ago. Our place in LA is so huge we decided that we have enough to to not only have a fully functional workshop,office, photo studio and our home, but we have enough room for a boutique as well. So if you live in or visit Los Angeles, then by mid January you will be able to make an appointment to come into my store. Which right now is being called the Bluetique ( Its a working title). it will feature a full inventory of my modified nerf guns, props, prop weapons, futuristic & and sci fi wardrobe. I will also feature prop rental for California residents who are making films or who just need props and a kick ass cosplay costume for a night of clubbing around town. Adrianne Anderson’s custom creations will also be featured in the store. She has her own line of custom leather & Latex clothing, a line of custom belts, and of course a line of exotic dance wear for girls. She will be offering a dance class early next year as well.

Once I get the store near completion I will start taking appointments. I would like to start either right before, or right after the holidays, but I want to give myself enough time to do it properly. So Mid January is a realistic time line. Well. I have to go,

I just purchased 3 display cabinets today! I am so excited!

Take care everyone, and as always if you have any requests you can reach me at Naijablue@gmail.com Bluetecha@gmail.com, or at my cell. Which is 310 402 8128.

All the best!

I know a while back I was talking about having a sale of all of the stuff from my east coast shop. I had to put a hold on that due to a sudden schedule change. Deadlines moved on me, and I had to backburner a few things to compensate. Anyway. I am working on the photos now of all of the goodies I am going to be listing as part of that sale. I should have some of that stuff posted this evening.

Hey all,

I have been in LA for the past few days, and so far it has been nothing but bad None of my shoots happened the way I wanted them to. Some not at all. I have been so busy with work I’m behind on a few orders. I haven’t even begun looking for a place here in LA, and Adrianne and I are set to return on the 4th!

I am going to have to get a move on if this trip is not going to be a complete waste of time and thousands of dollars!

On the other hand we have been spending a lot of time with our Friend Sara. She is such a blast to stay with.

Oh well, we will see how this all turns out. I’m sure it will be fine. This is just me being nervous, and pissed that my shoots went to hell!

Talk to you all the very next time I get amonet to sit down in front of the computer.

Hello all,

First off, sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I have been up to my neck in custom orders. Not that I am upset by that or anything. I receive new requests daily for custom pieces. Sorry to say I cant even think about taking on any new custom orders until after July 6th. So if you have a project you want done, I am going to be unable to help. I receive about ten requests daily. I am not saying don’t message me. I am simply stating that there will be a bit of a delay if I can get your job on the calender.

I also have a bunch of movie gigs coming up this summer, as well as my own projects. I have the entire month of July to dedicate to my web custom orders from my sites, and then I have to get cracking on the other stuff. not to worry. My partners will be picking up my site work until I return. They are more then capable of handling anything that I can do. Hans is actually more skilled a few things. lol

Talk to you all soon!

P.S. I am erasing Mr. Australia from my life and websites. So I will be deleteing every post that had anything to do with that nightmare, and I am also considering going back to paypal as a checkout option. Not to worry I am going to keep the google checkout methods as well.
