Whatever Happened to Ivan?

I thought you meant this Ivan:

But you're right, he's been MIA. I miss seeing his work.
 
The funny thing is that every sign guy I've worked with through KLOV rarely answers my PM's. Not sure if they turn them off, delete them without reading them or just don't care to respond. It took me months to get Rick (Ivan) to respond. Finally had to contact him via email. The same thing happens with prOk. He'll respond to one of my emails, then 5 go unanswered. Then if I ask if he got my 5 (or 1 or 3) pm's, I'll get a response saying "no, what were they about?" Frustrating to say the least. Both of these guys do phenomenal jobs and put out a great product, but I like getting things moving now and not waiting months or even years to complete a simple project. I finally went out and bought my own plotter/ stencil maker. Next is a CNC rig. People keep asking me if I plan to produce some of the signs I've designed and I can never say yes or no. I just don't wanna have to bother or rely on other people anymore.
 
You happened.

Huh? Dude shot over a couple mock ups, we agreed on a 3rd... that's the last I heard. I even (more than once) told him that if it was too much trouble, nevermind.

As if you didn't go through changing shit on your designs a couple dozen times.

All he had to say was "sorry guys... I can't do the signs anymore"... I'm sure everyone here would respect that.

I was only kidding, haven't you ever watched Hollywood Squares? You must not have seen my second post.
 
Actually... I think I may have been part of the "problem" being he left right when my sign queued up. That said... he just had to say "no". I surely didn't want to drive the guy out of dodge. I'd rather he be here and not doing signs than not be here at all.

:(

I'll let him post. He explained it all to me in an email on November 4th, and I was under the impression that he was gonna post that same information/explanation in his signs thread to get everyone up to speed. Guess not.
 
I assume you're talking about IvanTT? He's been posting today (he posted in Phet's old Laundromat sign thread). Friz, you posted shortly after he did in the same thread :D

I think old Fritz has ulterior motives for asking "where's Ivan". He knows where he is, he just wants Ivan to tell him.
 
No ... not really... I didn't see his post. I was more concerned that I (you, us, KLOV) somehow scared him away or something.

Frankly... my "sign" isn't important. At all. Hell, I should be spending my dough elsewhere anyway.
 
I miss seeing his signs too. He does some fantastic work, and the layers just really bring character to the signs!!

I hope he hasn't been driven off from the forums. Rather have him around. I can understand not wanting to make more and a simple no would be all it takes :)

And Phet, you aren't the only one that experiences that with people. I see it quite often. Missed emails (ha!), missed PM's (double ha!) and some how missing voice mails and texts. Where do all these missing attempts at communication go? I can completely understand if someone is 'Not interested, or too busy' No problem. Just say so!!
 
I'm not driven off or even POed at anyone. I was simply doing the sign thing for fun not profit and it stopped being fun. Overall I may get the bug again but for the time being I've decided to concentrate on my own collection and I currently have another big business venture in the works that may change the direction of my entire life from signs all together and that alone is the main reason I've not been around lately.
