LATEST NEWS
Here is the latest news from my career as a sculptor.
SPECTRUM EXHIBIT IN NYC GIVES QUEEN OF THE SEAS CENTER STAGE
On Spetember 2nd, 2014, The Spectrum exhibit opened in the Society of Illustrator's Museum of American Illustration. Queen of the Seas was placed in the center of the Exhibit. Greg Manchess, one of the curators, and one heck of a painter said, "[Queen of the Seas] was such a welcome addition to the exhibit. It invites people to come in and explore the exhibit the second they walk through the door."
QUEEN OF THE SEAS TO BE INCLUDED IN SPECTRUM EXHIBIT
I just found out that Queen of the Seas was selected for the Society of Illustrator's Spectrum Exhibit in New York City! It wll be on display at the Museum of American Illustration from Sept. 2nd to Oct. 18th along with about 100 other pieces selected from the last 5 Spectrum Art Annuals. What an honor.
QUEEN OF THE SEAS CAST IN BRONZE FOR SPECTRUM EXHIBIT IN NYC
It was a nail biter for sure, but Queen of the Seas was completed just in time for the Spectrum Exhibit in New York City. The folks at Adonis Bronze did a great job in finishing the casting and patina just days before the show began.

Bronze Casting of Harbinger, King of Werewolves.
Harbinger Detail
Several angles of Harbinger, King of Werewolves.

Side view of Berach, Lord of Dragons.
Lord of Dragons
Here is the bronze of Berach, Lord of Dragons.
Harbinger
Harbinger is a work in progress clay sculpture based on a character in Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series. This is my depiction of Earl Harbinger, the King of Werewolves. I loved Larry's book, Monster Hunter Alpha so much, I just had to sculpt Earl. I hope to have this cast in bronze in the next few months.
Berach the Dragon
Berach is now finished up and is off to get the mold made. I hope to have several casts made of this in various materials. I would really like to try casting in foam that is cost effective, durable, and lightweight.
Standing Nude
The standing nude is the second iteration in a series of nudes where I demonstrate my current skill level in both sculpture and anatomy. It is bronze at 1/6th scale.
Flight of the Merrow
Flight of the Merrow is a bronze sculpture representing the beauty and fluidity of a creature raised in the sea. It was originally sculpted in polymer clay and baked, but has now been cast in bronze.

Zienna Eve, the Model
Here Zienna Eve is posing with Wood Nymph, a really fun bronze sculpture that melds a tree with a beautiful young lady. It turned out great. It was so fun to meet her in person.
WOOD NYMPH
This is a sculpture of a Wood Nymph, a morphing of an old tree and a young woman. The Model was the beautiful Zienna Eve from Bornholm, Denmark.
QUEEN OF THE SEAS
Queen of the Seas is a monumental bronze sculpture depicting a mythical creature, the Cecaelia, a morphing of human and ocean creature. It stands 7 feet tall at the top of the harpoon, but the human aspect is half scale. I had a model sit for this one, and that certainly accounts for the grace of the human form, but I also wanted to be true to the myth, and create the illusion of a native water dweller.
QUEEN OF THE SEAS TRANSITION
In this photo we see the transition of the human aspect to that of the ocean creature. The skirt of the octopus ended up pulling double duty as a dress-like structure for the human aspect. It turned out beautifully.
THE SORCERESS
The Sorceress is a bronze sculpture measuring 10"x10"x28" depicting a Sorceress suspended in the air, casting a spell. Jenny Poussin, a prominent fitness and swimsuit model, posed for the piece. Her stunning figure and excellent physique makes this piece truly a work of art. She is attached to a blue pearl granite base.
THE SORCERESS SIDE VIEW
In this view, we can see the incredible definition in Jenny's figure. She has a perfect balance of power, grace, and femininity.
THE SORCERESS CLOSE UP
In this view, we see a close up of the core of the Sorceress. The model, Jenny Poussin, was in such great shape. She deserves most of the credit for how great the sculpture turned out.
