Monster Mini Golf

Those of you who are ardently following the legal debacle of Monster Mini Golf vs Monster Cable, here's a link to an article on Engadget.

It seems that the nefarious and grumpy Monster Cable will sue anyone who's company refers to the word "Monster" in any way, shape or form. Here's a link to just a few pages of their lawsuits against anyone who dares to use the "M" word.

And I'm sure the free advertising doesn't hurt. The cynical side of me says, "You can't pay for this kind of advertising" but at the same time, I wouldn't want to be in their golf shoes. Luckily, Krazie Golf is lien free - give us a call.

I'm sure the good folks at Monster Mini Golf have had many a sleepless night worrying about this lawsuit. Too many times we here about the little guys losing to the big corporate monsters (hee!) in court. It makes me happy to see the public rallying to defend this small company in the interest of everything that is good and right.


Long live Monster Mini Golf!

Here's what Monster Mini Golf just accompished:

-Monster Cable Founder Noel Lee has agreed to the following:
First: They have dropped their oppositions to our trademarks and are allowing us to register them (without a license agreement).

-Second: Monster Cable (or more importantly Noel Lee himself) has agreed to compensate us for legal fees.

-Third: he has issued a written apology to us.

-Fourth: There is NO gag order on this whole ordeal!! which means we can talk about all facets of this to anyone.

(And this is the one that EVERYONE wanted.....)
Noel has pledged personally to re-evaluate MC's position in the future in regards to trademark enforcement, and promises to be personally involved with all future oppositions.
This is huge, because what it means is that this is not likely to happen again in the future.

The world spoke, and Monster Cable listened, and we couldn't be happier with the results.


I have a personal letter from Noel with all of the above stated and we have come a long way from last month!
here is a link to our page with letters from us and him:

Cristiano Ronaldo's Sculpture Gone Wrong

Cristiano Ronaldo is represented by a bronze bust of his "likeness", and the internets on FIRE! World famous athlete with all the charm and good looks one could ask for..... clearly missed in this bronze replica.   So how in the world does this happen?   When creating a figurative life portrait sculpture, one collects imagery from all angles to replicate in form.  This piece was sculpted in clay first to then cast in bronze.  Clay is the most forgiving and easily adjusted material known to sculptors!  So who approved this facial expression as a correct representation of Cristiano Ronaldo?  Or did the artist not reveal any progress photos as the sculpture came into form?  Was he granted the job just to reveal this final with any updates in between?  The internet has been buzzing with endless memes criticizing the bust , as Cristiano has to grit and bear this permanent representation of himself.  And how did the artist respond to the outrage ?  He com

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 PREVIEW

One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in. We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available. This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications. Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not b
