And down the stretch they come!

Down to the final week before the artwork is due. I've got the sculpting pretty much done with a few tweaks here and there. Next I'll be coaxing these little guys into the oven like Frau Totenkinder (anyone?...no?) to bake them. Here's hoping they come out safely on the other side. Take Luck!

You got your clay on my foil...you got your foil in my clay!

I've been building up each piece little by little trying to stay as true to the thumbnail I have for reference. The deadline is getting closer and closer and I'm feeling the pressure. I still have yet to bake them, paint them and mount them (ahem).

And so it begins

I am participating in a show called Fact Vs. Fiction put on by the local legend Dan Zettwoch (http://www.danzettwoch.com/) scheduled for November 5th at the Mad Art Gallery in Soulard. Here is a sneak peak at the beginnings of my submissions. I am working on a set a faux mounted head pieces. One will be the Jabberwocky and the other other will be Rocky Racoon. I started with sketches then moved to a small scale 3d thumbnail using super sculpey to work out how it lives in 3 dimensions and now I am working on the inner core of the pieces by building the skeleton so to speak with foil and wire. I have a couple of wood plaques that will be used to mount them on as well.
