Rustedfables means "Old Stories". It was originally setup by me, Ron Collins about seven years ago to showcase online comics and 3d art that I had produced. I am a graphic artist by trade and have worked as an art director for several advertising agencies, a senior technical illustrator for DOE and for the last 15 years as a 3d artist and animator in the game industry.

I am married to a beautiful redhead named Nadine and have two girls, Heather and Melissa. We all live in the little town of Oakdale, California on the edge of the San Joaquin Valley at the base of the foothills on the way up to Yosemite.

Many films and television shows including classic westerns have been filmed in the hills just east of here near Jamestown and Columbia. The Sierra Railroad runs out of Oakdale and Engine Number 3 still resides at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park is currently being restored.

A few years ago I discovered the world of Cowboy Action Shooting. Since then I have been an avid enthusiast of the sport and all things western. I started buying the gear and clothing, but stopped short of buying a rig. After doing a lot of research and taking the time to learn the craft, I made my own gun leather. I enjoyed it a lot more than sittng in front of a computer all day, and decided to turn my design and artistic abilities to making my own line of high quality gun leather products and accessories. I go by the Alias of IronGrizzly and use that for my makers stamp on all the products.

My shop is located along side my house and is not open to the public. The business for now is strictly online, but if it continues to grow, I hope to be able to travel out to some of the big events and setup a booth.

For those of you who use MySpace, I have a page setup and would be like you to stop by and me to your list of friends.

Thanks for visiting Rustedfables Gun Leather and Accessories. Now I have to get back to the shop.
