Inside the Studio - Works In Progress & More

Below find works that are nearing completion for edition release - as well as works that are mere concepts waiting for their moment to come. Often works can take no time at all to complete it seems. Since I sell my own editions I prefer to strike when the iron is hot so to speak - meaning that often I put projects on hold. I have sculpted some works very quickly and left other sculptures to languish indefinitely.

Most of this page is a summary of years of blog posts, it would be too complicated to link to every mention but for more in depth details and discussions, see my studio blog and of course the comments.

Scaling up or down works now with techonology takes very little time at all. Mostly I have scaled down works but I'm looking forward to utiliziing this technology to grow a sculpture rather than reduce in size. For now one project I'm working on is scaling up a work using measurments rather than technology - it's much slower and loses accuracy of course, but it's free techology.

A Little About The Creation Process

So there is always a "story" that's behind what compelled me to create a horse. Sometimes that story is a bit hard for me to verbalize - chatty as I might seem! For me it's often more the need to create some kind of exciting energy or personality trait.

See the sign-up form on the left column of this page below the site links.

You may sign up using the form offering several options for which ever work you would like to receive email updates on. Aferwards, don't forget to confirm your subscription or the service won't sign you up.

I intend to use this service only to let you know of specific sculpture news. As a backup to my yahoogroup mails OR as an alternative notice for those who don't do yahoo.

To activate your newsletter subscription you will need to verify the confirmation email. Once you click on the link, you will eventually get notices when items are actively for sale, and only when they are for sale. This could literally be years down the road in some cases.

Also, if you selected one of the "all" options I plan to occasionally post offers of seconds, painted resins (by me) and of other new sculptures. These are infrequent and should not clutter up your in-box! Please note that your privacy is my utmost concern. This service has promised me it will not share your information with any other company or organization.

This gal will likely be the next work out of my studio, she's a lot farther along than these photos show now. View my blog for additional photos and discussion of some of the ideas I've had with how I might offer her. I've been so pleased to get all the enthusiastic feedback thus far and am entertaining several types of base option ideas for her. She is (forgive me I can't resist) coming along swimmingly... she is "curio" size we're determining. Smaller than "classic" and bigger than "Little bits" by a hair.

Really there isn't much more to explain about this fun guy except that he's probably destined to be earthbound by a base of long grass reaching his feet. I've been wanting to sculpt a dog forever now. I cheated some on the armature & reused my squat little minature horse "Kipling" body (the clay gets destroyed in demolding). Anyhow, but you can see I had to lengthen the limbs and add a tail. That's a gallon milk jug top (lip cut away) to give an idea of size. Too fun!

There is a blog post and several comments following it that explain this guy so much better (click here)

This fella came to life pretty quickly recently and is shown here on his tiny armature stand of paint brush with two match sticks glued below to help me hold him easier.

I was watching some video of liberty acts where the horse chases the trainer in mock haughty aggression and was inspired to start this work. I love to watch animals play & turn fiesty and imposing like this. I will continue to update with pictures here if I can but be sure to sign up for my mailing list to learn when he becomes available!
