Yours went in the mail on Saturday, via UPS. Colorado, right? Look for it very soon.

It is truly beautiful. Glad he picked this picture over my shrine of his work.

I don't think the picture does it justice. Thank you for the opportunity to share it!

I cropped them all, they were all good pictures, but used just the one. Nice arm!

The other side on my arm has the end scene from the movie, with snowflakes.. Oh yeah and of course the "You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else" quote. When I met you in Louisville, KY I didn't have the tattoo yet, but there is definitely a spot for an autograph. Haha..

Chuck! Mine arrived yesterday. It's a work of art. Exceeded my wildest expectations. Even the packaging was superb (There should be a meme: "Find someone that wraps presents for you the way Chuck Palahniuk wraps presents!") It's the most unique, bad ass bookmark I've ever seen, and it's displayed across the entirety of one of my book shelves (guess which one?). Our dog Max got a whiff of the box before I opened it--I think it cleared his sinuses and mine! =) The bat carved from opalite is my favorite, but everything is tremendous, down to every last detail like the font on the letter. My wife absconded with the mints. Thank you for such a beautiful keepsake, and thank you for helping the animals at Pixie Project. You're a saint! Josh

Chuck, sent you a couple of pics to Dennis--one is of Max when he decided to inspect the package. Hope they put a smile on your face. Thanks! Josh

Fantastic. In theory there should always be something tragic about unwrapping a present.

Wooooow!! These are stunning!! Chuck— you made me cry, man— dang it. So much delight in all these boxes!! I can tell you that the dog toys you sent the Sassy monster, aaaah, she’s been having fun. The donut has graduated to one she brings to bed with her now. That makes three toys she has to have with her. Mr. Crab, Mr. Pizza (minus a hand) and now a blueberry donut! Hahaaa. Loudest squeaker ever.

Thank you for caring about the animals and so many of us!! 🥰🎁👀

Everything you do, you really do the shit out of. Inspiring, and also I want to make this with the jar of minerals I've saved throughout the years. Do you just drill a hole through them with a dremel or do you have one of those table drills?

Absolutely gorgeous! Ya know - if this little writing thing you’ve got going doesn’t pan out, you should look into Etsy!😜
