To all our customers, fans, friends and family –
BCTC wil be closing our doors on December 30, 2023.
We are beyond grateful that Russell James’s business was able to stay open to the public as long as it has since his transition to the loving arms of Spirit in 2018.
Rather than being overwhelmingly sad by this decision, we focus on all the good that has transpired these past 5 ½ years. Nick Wheeler, Russell’s one and only apprentice was able to finish his apprenticeship under the amazing talented artist Brady Payton. Nick Wheeler has learned from two of the best artists in the industry. We fully expect great artistry from him in the future and will continue to watch him grow.
Brady Payton has been an imperative blessing to BCTC in countless ways. He is a geniune person with an amazing gift of creativity and art. We are thankful he remained with BCTC and helped steer the business as long as he did. We could not have remained open without him. You can reach Brady at www.bradypayton.com.
Nicholle Baskerville, BCTC’s one and only piercer is opening her very own studio “Sidequest”. Nicholle has been another tremendous blessing to BCTC. Nicholle is creative, stylish, professional and compassionate with her customers. She always put her clients first and has set a high bar for other piercers. We will always be very grateful to Nicholle for her assistance and dedication to BCTC. Nicholle will have her new studio open in January. You can reach Nicholle at www.sidequestcollective.com. Nicholle’s last day with BCTC will be December 30.
It is also important to thank Denise Boone. Denise has proven the best at keeping BCTC beautiful and well organized. Denise is such a kind-hearted person. We thank her for everything she has helped with.
Everyone is well, everyone has grown. We cannot ask for more than a beautiful ending.
We love you - Russell James Fisk - with every ounce of our being across all realms and dimensions. Your art, your passion, your creativity, and your spirit continues on.
Russ would want to wish everyone tremendous success in reaching their wildest and craziest dreams! He would remind you, “the sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning”!
-The Family of Russell James Fisk-
