Hello Dear Friends, Hope You've Had A Lovely Christmas Time And I Wish You A Happy Rest Of The Holidays

Hello dear friends, may I present myself to you here, I took this literally after I received some good news and I would say is a true reflection of how I'm feeling right now.

In October I have a pre Visa meeting where everything will be explained to me about visa application requirements. I'm very interested in going out to California and perhaps becoming based there as an artist and I'm hoping this might be a first step to achieving that dream.

If all goes well at this meeting I will then set travel plans in November for when I will fly over to see what it's like. If I truly like it there and California likes me kind of thing then it will be after this trip that I will then see about being based there full time.

I'm on a real journey now and only time will tell if this will become something I can achieve, I would like very much to share all the stages that I go through with you here. Wish me luck because I'll really need it, I will have my fingers crossed.

Where ever I end up I will still try to present some fine sculpture to you, In the meantime I have to sculpt hard and save hard. I'll show the next stage of my sculpture Wisdom very soon, Take care.

Dear Friends I present a photograph of me taken in 1992 next to a life size statue I made of the late singer Michael Jackson . I'm currently 44 years old but when this photo was taken I was 17 years old . This was made of chicken wire and oil based clay and real clothes were put on the statue . I used makeup and a wig for the head , this was where my interest in sculpture began .

Hello dear friends, may I present a photo which I call the worn torn vintage figure shot of my sculpture called The Glamour Girl. This is a newly created photo of a previous sculpture I created long ago, this was a project I enjoyed very much working on.

This sculpture was life size and modelled in water based clay, my favorite clay to sculpt with.

Soon I hope to be able to present photo no 2 of The Lost Boy Of Venice in the making, shouldn't be too much longer. Doing lots of tests to work out the right pose for the little ghost boy.

I wish you a great weekend, keep well and Take care 🙌🤗.

Dear Friends I present the artistic photo of my character creature design , this was modelled in clay and about 3 and a half feet tall . Shown here with the blue hue effect in the photograph .

Hello dear friends may I present to you photo no 2 of my new sculpture Mirror Mirror VAMPIRE. The mirror is now more or less finished and standing at about 29 inches high. Since the last photo shown I have added some intricate detailing to the mirror and the base. In order to give the mirror a pretty and elegant look about it, this could look beautiful placed on a dressing table.

But this is a contradiction for all the while that she sits to admire her beautiful reflection little does she know that something very unpleasant is about to emerge from it. THIS IS A WORKSHOP PHOTO SHOWN AS A BLACK AND WHITE............... now I start work on the emerging vampire Take care Steve, next photo soon.

Hello dear friends, just a little something I've created here from a photograph of my sculpture of Tut. I call this picture the The illusion cut Tut, I enjoy creating these on the computer, it's a little bit of creative imagination time away from sculpture.

Wisdom has just 3 more weeks and then I will be able to show the photos of the sculpture finished and I look forward to that. For it will mean that I get to start a brand new sculpture and I've come up with a wonderful idea for a new project that I think will be interesting.

As always I hope your keeping well, I'll show another photo in this gallery very soon, Take care.

Hello dear friends, I present to you the vibrant Tut design image this is another design I have created from a frontal photo of my sculpture of Tut.

This might very well become an image I place on to black and white hoodies which I would like to put up for sale to purchase. I'm hoping that these might be of interest to the younger generation, at this stage I'm just trying to come up with I hope interesting items to eventually place on my up and coming website.

I was hoping to have had the website up and running by the end of August but I'm still working out ideas for wall art and clothing items, so I will hope to have it online soon please bare with me.

The next photo of MIRROR MIRROR VAMPIRE very soon Take care and have a great weekend when it comes.

Hello dear friends, I hope I'm finding you well and I hope you've had a great week. Tonight may I present a little black and white glimpse of a canvas wrap print in a newly decorated frame.

I've shown this in black and white as soon I'm going to be creating some black and white wall art. I'll show this artwork here in full and in colour very soon .

This particular artwork is called Little Boy Tom and was created from my sculpture called Little Boy Tom. I'm going to present artworks in white frames , black frames and black and white frames, I look forward to showing further work on here very soon.

Have a great weekend, Take care ☺️👋👋

The wooden clay armature, Hello dear friends tonight I wanted to present a photo that would be a real insight into the making of a life size sculpture.

This photo shows the life size wooden armature that I created for a previous statue I've presented on here called The Glamour Girl. This is what's inside of the clay in order to hold the sculpture in shape.

The aim of the armature is to take the weight of the clay and the armature must fit inside of the clay the same way that a skeleton fits inside the human body.

I usually create my armatures out of wood, steel brackets and nuts and bolts and once the armature is in place and the figures pose is correct. I then cover the armature with clay and slowly build up the figure and face and any clothes etc.

Of course when you look at the clay sculpture, you wouldn't know there was an armature inside, but there is and it's a very important factor of a sculpted project.

I'll post again very soon, I hope you're having a fine week, keep well and Take care ☺️👋

Dear Friends I present the artistic photo of a portrait I sculpted of one of my friends called Dan . This was life size and modelled in clay , I like to show these kind of photos as it's a different way to view the clay sculpture .
