Kong and BrideKong is now posted on the wedding page. He's the largest topper I've made yet but the biggest challenge was getting
nice sharp edges and corners on the building. Polyclay really prefers more organic shapes. I've painted this one B&W
to evoke the original(best version) film.

New There are new pieces on each of the gallery pages.
On the wedding page is a faux book topper. As a sculpture it
was very simple but combining 2D art with polyclay had its own challeges. If you try it yourself I recommend you give yourself
plenty of time to fit them together. Oh, and leave a bit of extra "sacrificial" art aroung the edges for trimming
purposes.
The whimsey is a cartoon monkey meant for a first birthday cake. Since he's so simplified (not to
say slapped together) and only a single figure, he or something like him would be only $20.00 plus 5.00 shipping.
On the mini sculpture page is Sailor Baby which sounds like an ironic super hero but is just an interpetation of an old
family photo. She's a bit unusual in she is freestanding and unpainted.
Right now I'm finishing up a Kong
and Bride topper. As soon as it's finished I get it posted. One of these days I'll post a series of photos showing
the process from beginning to end. That may be more educational for me than anyone since my nose is generally stuck right
down in the work and I may not be seeing the forest for the trees.

What's the story?There's a danger when you make custom art to order. If someone is looking for a pulp art cover with a detective and a
librarian it's very hard not to wonder about the story behind it. It's none of my business but it's hard not to
wonder. Ah, the endless frustrations of the artist.

New pagesReorganized the site a bit today. Added two new pages and a new sculpture. So for the moment pieces will be grouped according
to Wedding (self explainatory), Whimsies (anything that comes primarily from my imagination) and Mini-sculptures which are
pieces based on real people. Hopefully, this change will save everyone endless scrolling.
