Process:



Here's my first attempt at a head.  Used regular Sculpey instead of Super Sculpey. Never again.




Thaaat's better.  More refined version, pre-oil paint.  Still retaining a certain jankiness.

Photo Update



Last week I spent some time photographing several different sculpted illustrations I've been working on the last few months.  Here are a few preview shots of the Gram Parsons portrait I've been putting together.

Process:




Inspiration:

Parson's Nudie suit.

Parson's outfit on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.



Gram Parson's with the famous suit designer Nudie Cohn.




Here are some stills from the photo shoot:






















Harvest Time

My piece at The Milk Factory's Sculpture Harvest show.



(Gettin' closer now.)






September 26th and 27th The Milk Factory Gallery put ona sculpture show and film festival and I was lucky to take part in the first evening's event.  Here's a link to their facebook page for a peek at the rest of the exhibition:


At the show, there was talk of a possible miniature-golf-themed exhibit featuring 18 artists each designing a hole.  Sounds like a dream come true!
