"Hello nimsowner"

To your point about "finding fulfillment in my life" yes I have and thank you for picking up on that. I am so truly blessed...

That I have the best wife and sole mate that anyone could only dream of having, and that we are about to celebrate our 44th Wedding Anniversary.

That now I am 66 years old and still loving what I do, and better yet the people I do it for.

That I am now able to say "No" to work more, but Yes to the work that I really want to do... because I can.

That I am a cancer survivor, now going on 13 years cancer free.

That I have made so many new friends like you... here at "SICKTHINGS UK!"

Yes nimsowner... Life Is Great! - Ernie

"Hello WickedYoungMan"

And thank you for clarity an that "Inpatient" word. I sure hope that once someone sees the images and reads the text, one would feel as good as when the doctor gives them a clean bill of health on that Prostate exam. Thank you for your patients... you WickedYoungMan, You! - Ernie

Next person who claims that the Box Set is "way overpriced" I'll gladly defer them to this page for starters. A lot of work is going into the packaging alone.

That was a real treat, thank you Ernie.

Exactly. This isn't merely just "any" box set.

"Hello In Chick"

Sorry that it has taken me quite some time to get back here to respond to your comment
it's been really busy lately. I am so glad that you like the images and the creative process. Also thank you for commenting, I really do love hearing what you and the rest of the "SICKTHINGS UK Gang" have to say, especially now that I am into the "Welcome 2" ideation and packaging. - Ernie

"Thank You moonshadow"

I always take it for granted that no one is really as interested in the process as much as the final product, so I am always surprised to hear that you and others, are interested. That being said, if you like I will be posting more images from the "Old School" Box Set and as I am allowed "W2MN" ideation and sketches.

Thank you for commenting - Ernie

"Hello Scotty"

Yes the "eye in the inkwell" was something that I regretted not doing on the original "School's Out" desk, but sometimes. if you "live long enough" opportunity will once again come knocking!! Thank you for commenting, and I will look forward to your and everyones future comments. - Ernie

"Hey alan1958"

Yes it's quite the collectors "Wet Dream" of a package great images, CD's, DVD's, a 64 page yearbook with tons of stuff, much of which has never seen before. I am a staunch, hard core Alice Cooper fan since 1970 and I can say this without any reservation...

this one's a KILLER! - Ernie

"You WickedYoungMan... You"

To your first comment, yes this is an outstanding "Box Set!" First and most importantly because of all the "GREAT" content. I can assure you that a lot of hard work and "LOVE" went into its creation by a lot of "GREAT" people who wanted to give all of us, the fans something that they will keep forever! Secondly, we designed our asses off!

This is all that in spades! Thank you for your comments, I assure you that they are greatly appreciated.- Ernie

Ernie, When do you think the Sketches/artwork will be finished for W2MN?Sinceold school box set artwork is great I can't wait to see Artwork/Sketches for new album. An you're sure the album is being released in the fall still? Cause Blabbermouth.net (you familiar with it? website said early 2012 but I just am asking to make sure the release date didn't change again. thanks again.

"Hello AliceFan"

As far as I know the release date has not changed. As for the "W2MN" sketches I am certain that like the "Old School" Box Set, I won't be able to have Si post anything until the album is released. But I will be supplying more images and ideation sketches from "Old School" as you all will allow me to. Thank you for your concern and comment, I will let you know as I can. - Ernie
