Time for something I've been meaning to do for a while, that is to start using this section of the site to keep you up to date on what I'm working on.

Firstly I decided that I could improve on an old piece of work. I sculpted Bill Shankly a couple of years ago and intended to sell castings of the piece.

Having never been overly happy with the likeness or the hands I decided to take a wax casting of the original and re-sculpt these parts, you can see the original head on the left.

With his new head and hands, and a base that will now be molded as part of the finished piece he was ready to mold once again, hopefully for the last time! This process is about 75% complete here, all going well I should be able to start casting soon, I'll be using the 'cold cast bronze' process.

I wanted to make a diorama for a long time, so I decided using a couple of characters from 'Gears of War' could be cool, so obviously I have to finish and adjust the pose of this guy, and start the second character! It's a long way off and a personal piece so this one may take a while........

Yes I know, I only have two caricature pieces in my gallery! This is the thing that most needs my attention, and also the thing that I enjoy the most, so I have a couple of new ones in the works, below Aerosmith's (not American Idol's) Steve Tyler.....

.....and The Inbetweeners.

And finally a pretty large piece of a character from one of my favourite movies of recent years, Rose McGowan as 'Cherry' from 'Planet Terror'. This is about 20" tall and again still a fair bit of work to do with this one........
