Moose On The Loose

Latest moose; finished and good to go.

Moose Fired

Sculpted parts are fired, now it's time to introduce some colour before final assembly.

Edgar Allan Poe Bust

I came across a plaster bust of Chopin in a charity shop a few months back. I've nothing against Chopin particularly, but I thought that it might be an interesting project to remodel the sculpture into a great artist who holds some personal significance to me. Poe seemed an obvious choice (though, physically he bears no resemblance to Chopin at all!) so I modified Chopin's features into those of the creator of ‘The Raven’ and ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’

Interestingly, While researching costume details I discovered that Poe and Chopin were almost exact contempories; Chopin 1810-1849, Poe 1809-1849.

Spooky huh?

3 Random Sculptures

I've been rummaging around and found these three older sculpts.

Cheeky Monkey Completed

                                               

Three aspects of my latest monkey

Cheeky Monkey

I seem to be in a bit of a monkey groove at the moment. Just finished up the sculpt stage on this cheeky little simian.

Double Monkey

Seeing Double? Nope, it's the two hollow sides of the sculpt for a new Gripe Monkey waiting to be reassembled for firing.

Sabre Tooth Cat

I’ve always loved sabre-toothed cats. When I was a kid I really wanted all the classic Aurora monster models. I never got any of these, but I did manage to obtain (for a steal) some of their prehistoric kits; cavemen, tar pit, and my favourite, the sabre tooth. The bases kind of locked together and I had them laid out in my bedroom like a tiny Natural History museum display. Sadly, I no longer have them, as they now fetch pretty serious prices on eBay.

Cutie Dragon Commish

The brief for this dragon commission specified that he had to be adorable; so I played down all of the dragon’s malevolent characteristics and ramped up the cute factor to 11. When I was sculpting him I was thinking about a book ‘The Flight of Dragons’ illustrated by fellow Midlands artist Wayne Anderson at the end of the 70’s. I didn’t take it off my bookshelf and revisit it until I finished sculpting, but I can detect a slight influence, especially in the huge, soulful eyes.
