One of my figures "Italian Geezer"created from a photograph

My name is Steve Barry.
I have been converting figures for many years. I was inspired by Maher studios as a child and dreamed of owning a "Scotty" figure. As I grew older I started making my own and altering their features so I had a collection of different "personalities". Recently, my wife Darlene has joined me in my endeavor.
Clinton Detweiller and his love for ventriloquism has been my role model and inspiration over the years. I thank him and will miss Maher studios sorely.
None of my figures look exactly the same. Each is individually made and as they near completion I give them a name.
I include a certificate of authenticity with each figure and they are recorded and numbered so that no two are alike.
I enjoy ventriloquism and love what I do. I wish you success in this ancient art of entertainment and God bless you and yours!
