Well I’ll be damned! We back baby!!!!! I don’t even have words to describe your addition. It’s amazing, but since the materials and art form you used are so foreign to me, all I can really say is WOW WOW WOW
Bro the care and time and effort you put into this woulda took me like 10 years. Good on you for getting this out when you could and I never doubted your integrity and knew you would crush this, AND YOU DID! Well done my friend!
Okay, dude. I'm so glad this went to you for so many reasons. 1. The final product is SO COOL. Like, you put so much work into this, it looks freaking amazing and I love it. 2. You went through the trouble of repairing it and making sure it lasts. I don't think a lot of people have the types of tools you do to achieve what you did with the lock thingies, and I'm glad you were able to do it, as well as fixing the hinges. The hinges even look better, in addition to working better. 3. You made the packaging less unwieldy, making it more secure and probably cheaper to ship as well. I am so impressed by your craftsmanship and attention to detail and it was well worth the wait.
Wholly cannoli Batman! What a journey!! Your blood, sweat, and tears went into every aspect of your contribution! AND IT LIGHTS UP!! so sick! 😍 Thank you for your kind words and for watching my videos and liking my artwork. You and your whole family are so sweet! I'm so excited to get the honor of painting on the collab. I'm forever grateful to you. Thank you so much for making my entire year dude! This is one of the best experiences I've ever had. Thank you again with all my heart! 💛✨
You are a true craftsman! The final product is unbelievable and you showcased all of your skills beautifully. I know a lot of people are angry with how long this took you, but it’s obvious how dedicated you are to your work. Thank you for taking your time and sticking it out with everything that has happened in your life this year. 💜💜💜
Rewatching all of season 2 over the last couple of days has shown me: 1) Too many artists apologized for how long it took them. (Which really just means there are too many impatient fans. Cool it, guys!) 2) Season 2 had some BIG names, but the not big names have done just as well at producing high quality art and videos. 3) I know Season 2 took a lot longer than Season 1, but it has been SO worth the wait. 4) Matt went above and beyond and totally blew this outta space. Love, Love, Love, Love this video. 5) I wish I had the many thousands of dollars that I'm sure this piece is going to go for because it is stunning, and I want it in my home.
Man, that was absolutely worth the wait! You didn´t knock it out of the park, you knocked it into a different universe! Such a love for detail, so many different crafts, and I guess a lot of money went into that thing! My highest respect for your work ethic, too! Best wishes for your family, too. Hope life treats you better in the future!
So, this addition has leatherwork, metalwork, electronics, and restauration of previous parts, ALL IN ONE.This is ... tremendous and ambitious, to say the least! I am pretty sure even half of this would have been enough, but you've managed to blow it into outer space! (heh) Congratulations, may this video bring in all the positivity it deserves, (YOU deserve)!
A lot of people got impatient with your part of the colab, I know I did. Being someone that actually doenst do art, it was way easy for me to think that you were giving a bunch of useless excuses, when all you needed was two hours at most to make your contribution and keep the colab running. Why is he doing an update, just do the dam thing. Man, seeing the final result, the amount of detail, care and dedication, made me see how wrong I was. Your addition to the piece is amazing. I apologize, for the pressure we created by being impatient and demanding. Love your work. Subscribed.
You really went above and beyond with this one. You really uplifted the front with the gorgeous leather and the metal work. It looks so much more professional. I love that you upgraded the metal hinges and lock. I can imagine that you as a metal worker couldn't send it out like that. The new shipping box is great! All in all great work!!
Hey I'm so pleased for you that your part of this Collab is finished, hopefully everything with your house is sorted soon and your wife's surgery goes well. Then PLEASE take a break! This video really shows how hard you work, how you strive for perfection and you achieve it! You did a great job on this! But stress takes its toll! Anyway enough of that, I'm sure your wife has already said it all and more. Great job 👍 Now off to bed you go! 😆
Your contribution to the collab was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G The showcase of care and craftsmanship in this was beyond impressive! You truly elevated the piece. Thank you.
"i've got 2 and a half hours before my day job let's get some sleep!" my dude that's not sleep that's a nap! i know you said in your other video you're a workaholic and can't help yourself but my guy! you're living on naps. more power too you i guess lol
Now that is impressive! I had NO idea what you would contribute using metal. Like you, I thought the addition of the doors took away the possibility of a frame and I was so interested in how you would proceed. You nailed it!
This is magnificent! Congratulations! Thank you for hanging in there and not giving up, putting up with the naysayers and making tremendously beautiful art!
This is awesome! Thanks 🎉 So classy, the outside is so blinged up now, it's gorgeous. Also, the structural issues and dinky little hardware being fixed up. Needed to happen!
Congratulations! An epic addition to this piece! A year ago I was in the Philippines now finally seeing your work here in South Phoenix! I wished I could have seen it in person! Keep being awesome brotha!
I don’t normally comment, but I just think what you made is so amazing. I’m sorry you’ve had struggles and people reacted the way they did. I sympathize because my house is currently tore up from water damage also. Same situation with the mortgage check etc. just really impressed with your artwork, but also you just seem like a great family and you handled things so well. Hope you get a great reaction because you really deserve it.
This is my absolute favorite part of the collab! It is gorgeous, I would love to see a stand alone piece done this way!! The absolute care and workmanship that you put into this is outstanding. You went WAY above and beyond. I also truly appreciate all the extra work you put into this to fix the issues. ❤❤❤
So cool! And thank you for taking the extra time to repair and refactor the travel damage. That's a very nice touch and speaks to your character as both an artist and as a person. I saw some of your other videos and that you had a lot of life (of the struggle and hardship variety happen); I'm glad you were able to stick it out and get this finished, and I hope things are going much better and stay that way! Again, really great work!
Well its 1:23 am and i just stayed up way too late to watch this. What can i say. Some people are talented. Some pwople are gifted. Some people are just down right fucking amazing !!!! Your that person. You have continuously blown my mind with everything u do . Its been an honor to employ such a talented person. You work just as hard for us at your day job as you put into projects like this. You never brags you actually never even mention it. It took me a couple years to even find out you won some sword and knive challenges. Those videos blew me away and this. Wow. Your vindicated in these comments tuening every hater into a fan. Your kind . Your loving. Your caring. And it shows. Its why you took care of the peojects longevity. The hundreds of hours you have into this, along with what people aren't realizing, are countless hours documenting and editing your videos of the process. Fucking bravo bro. You just blew the roof off what someone will now pay for this !! Love it !!!!!
Yo! My dude it was great to to see your collaboration on this project with all this amazing artist. Love how you integrated the leather and the lights in that super dope super up your alley I hope you’re doing well man. I hope all is good
I'm still mid video and just trying to calculate the hours and hours and amount of care and thought you put into thi. The project and your contribution is amazing! GREAT job!
Very cool addition. We'll worth the wait. I love how it takes the original skull turned skeletal astronaut and completes its story. Good job. Something you should be very proud if. Thank you for the detailed explanation of all the techniques as well.
Yooooooooo such an amazing addition to the piece!!! Wonderful job!! And life does what it does but hey it's back!!! Glad that you were able to be a part of it!!!
You did SO GOOD! 100% worth the wait and I hope you and the fam are all doing so much better. Y'all had one hell of a year - it's definitely time to celebrate this success and enjoy some family goodness.
BEFORE when they announced that a metal worker was coming I was cautiously optimistic. A little worried that a side piece would be added or EVEN MORE canvas. Yet somehow this is my FAVORITE single addition to this art piece. Both the most unique and an amazing job satisfyingly tying the existing artwork together. Like this might be the most work put in by a single artist in this collab yet! The wait was well worth it!!! Understand real life stuff delayed it so just wishing you the best and a lil pressure off ya now :) Normally I’d say I can’t wait for the finale but I think we call def can lol. Best wishes to last artist!!!!
Well HOOO-LYYY HELL that was worth the wait !!! What phenomenal, intricate, and spellbinding work!!! I’m so stoked that you finished off that front panel…. I mean the execution is next level ! And the etching like the energy that connects the fabric of time & space… and the literal stitching that holds it together. It was a great collab full of incredible contributions before- and I liked it…. but now I WANT THAT THING! You should be so proud of what you did! 😮❤️
I'm sorry you had to deal with so much in your life during this, as well as all the negativity. I'm happy to start looking into art that I never have before through your channel. You have respect for your craft, the other artists, and fans of this whole thing. Take a break and spend time with your family. You did amazing!!
Essentially, you put a lot of time into this. Hats off to you for an amazing job dude. With the time it was in your hands my expectations were high but you rose to the challenge and essentially shattered all expectations.
woah, the level of detail is mindblowing 😱 thanks for showing all the processes, i never worked with metal before and the different techniques of altering (?) you did fascinated me a lot. also the shipping box you built 😍
Bro! Great work man all the techniques just awesome. F**k the clowns that were talking shit brother, you did this project justice dude, keep up the great work. And for real for real, you need to get more sleep haha you gotta look out for your health brother! Lookin forward to your future stuff!
This was absolutely stunning! The creativity and craft you put into this is wonderful. You should be very proud of yourself. I’m sorry so many people said such horrible things. I wish RU-vid had a block feature.
I would have bet a years salary that i saw this video with THAT SPECIFIC design you made, only that i saw it on an artcollab a few years ago... Did you get inspired by something that a previous artist made on one of the other collabs?? 🤨🤔... This is Top-10 one of THE most bizzare deja-vu's I've ever had in my entire life and I'm genuinly cpnfused by this... My first thought at 38:36 was just "I've seen that before"..
