Here's another sculpture I did many years ago. He was one of a series of little busts that I sketched up in
Sculpey, a polymer clay. I usually painted them with acrylic paints, but this one was never painted. I recently was surfing up what other artist are doing with Sculpey and found a whole group doing some fantastic sci-fi and fantasy genre stuff. One of my favorites are
The Shiflett Brothers. Their work continues the same epic sense of adventure and power that painters like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo are so well-known for. Looking at their work and going back and reexamining my own from back-in-the-day, is making me a little itchy to push some clay around again...
OK HW
Sculpey is great stuff. When I was a freshman many, many years ago, I used it for my very first School of the Arts art assignment at VCU. Thanks for the reminder! peace...
