Talents abound at the Swan Christian College Figure Sculpture Workshop

First off, let me say that the teacher I was working with, Nicole Tonkin… is a magnificent artist in her own right. But, to be that and an outstanding teacher as well?! Those are some lucky kids! Nikki and I met a few years ago when she had contacted me to help one of her […]

By the Power of Grayskull its Clint and his He-Man Jawbone Figure Base!

Sometimes my job allows me to meet the most interesting people. On this occasion I got to meet Clint Ludgewick. Clint had a fairly simple request.

Dodge and the BIE were generous enough to […]

Priceless WWII Heirloom – November 2018

Back in November 2018, I was contacted and commissioned by a Chloe Constantidies. She needed a very special project created using a Priceless WWII Heirloom.

Monster Design Workshop

The night before the Monster Sculpture Workshop (wrong time but more on that later) I ran a Monster Design and Drawing Night. Everyone came in with a cautious yet curious attitude, but they all soon relaxed and got into drawing mode. I always start my design and drawing classes with a set of basic drawing […]
