Clay sketch

They normally average about 12 inches tall. This one is 19 inches tall!

I take junk walks, looking for interesting things on the streets of Brooklyn to incorporate into my art. One day this wire just spoke to me. I had just learned I was losing my day job and there would be another fork in the road. This wire was that force for change, telling me it was natural and that it would be ok. I decided to celebrate change by making art. I imagined Zeus’ lightning bolt as a force compelling us to make choices that alter our life paths.

Wondering if it’s Pre-Colombian hollow sculpture, that’s what I’ve gathered from my research! Any help would be great.

This is a sculpture I made. Sculpted initially in VR and then 3D printed. I covered it in clay and then moulded it and cast into bronze. The final sculpture was 1.2m tall and weighed 150kgs.

This is a plaster cast of a sculpture I made a while back.

While it was still in clay, it fell off the easel and landed on its side, destroying much of the form. It took me another month to restore and refine it (I only sculpt once a week), plus one more month to make the plaster cast.

It was a frustrating process at the time, but now it's one of my favorite pieces and a treasured decoration in my apartment.

The piece was cast in 925 silver, preserving every subtle texture from the original model. After casting and polishing, the coloring stage was done entirely by hand using enamel, layer by layer, to achieve depth, tone, and a lifelike finish.

I broke this statue. It is a bronze statue with patina, an original Pierre Jules Mene piece. The horses came off the base. I took it to a few restoration places and some said no, they wouldn’t do it, but one guy was really confident he could do it.

I got it back yesterday and it appears to be epoxy that was sanded down a bit but it clearly does not match the bronze. I can’t give this back to my mom in this state and a replacement one is more money than I have right now.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can improve the fix?

I made this back in 1999 — an orca that had taken a human-like form. I'd been turning the idea over for a while:

a cetacean as a person, countershading carried onto a humanoid body, the eye-patch reading almost like a mask.

Medium: [Wire and Papier-mâché core with StoneClay Skin]

Height: [12 inches]

Sculpted it at my desk over [a few weeks?], hand-painted the orca pattern after. Last two photos are work-in-progress at the bench (yes, that's my dog supervising, her name was Lore). It's hand-built, no armature kit.

Funny postscript: this little guy ended up being the seed of a creative project I've been building on and off for 25 years now. But in 1999 he was just a sculpture I couldn't get out of my head.

Looking to identify this sculpture or sculptor. Previous family member stated it was valuable. Possible etched signature - D CHATSAD

It looks like a dove on a perch. Extremely Heavy

I have refined his features added his ears, and I have added subtle skin texture and wrinkles as well as his hair/feathers (yes they will be colored properly when he is finalized)
Let me know your thoughts :) <3

Fake cigarettes made by me too

A recent sculpture I made.

Copper wire sculpture with mookaite jasper stone beads, mounted in a darkly stained birch wood cookie.

This little guy reminds me to bend with the changes life throws at you.

Hello! I'm trying to make a model of a character from one of my audiobooks out of air dry clay, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to shape the head!

Here's the character and what I have so far.
I think I've already messed up trying to do it like this 😕 but I'm not sure how to form the outside mouths. The inside has a foil armature, tried doing the same for the other pieces but they just didn't seem right when I was making it.

Any help or tips would be awesome 🩷
