Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to take a chance and finally come out of the shadows. I've lurked here for a while, and really like the site, and finally have something to show off, so I thought I'd sign up.

Here's my latest sculpture, a Lovecraft Inspired beastie, now for sale on eBay here: http://tinyurl.com/4rf6gu

Let me know what you think!

Hahahah

Man, I can't help but think it's a bad sign when my sculpture gets that kind of reference....

Can you eat it? Cuz if you can't I'm not buying it

Of course you can eat it!

I'm not saying it would taste good or not kill you mind, but you are welcome to eat whatever you please!

i think the wax is kinda upstaging the specimen. is it meant to be sealing wax? anyway, a lot of that effect might be from the lighting. if you get the light coming from inside somehow, more of the important details would probably jump out of a photo.

yah, maybe a cool shadow box could help it, those are soooo cool.

Thanks guys, I'm not as pleased with that one either, but for a first work, I thought it turned out well. The wax was in response to a large Screw inserted into the top of the Jar, but I agree, it seems a bit overpowering. It is pretty red in that picture, too....

Here it is a few days ago, the first time I'd seen it since the client received it almost a year ago.

I'm really quite pleased with the planned breakdown of the sealants. I intentionally seal the piece in different layers so that the first few break down, discoloring and aging it, and adding some texture to the liquid. I wasn't too sure how it would work out, but so far it looks pretty great.

Specimen #102 is still available on eBay for anyone that wants to add it to their personal collections until tomorrow evening here: http://tinyurl.com/4rf6gu

You got a site with all your stuffs on it?

That earlier piece looks a lot better in the more recent photo.

Thanks, Ian... I actually spent a good amount of time trying to find a mix of sealants and whatnot to use that would break down over time and actually make it look more realistic, and after not seeing that piece for almost a year, I was kind of worried, but it seems to have held up great. Eternities End, I don't have one really... I have a Comic Art Fans website here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=9326 though it hasn't been updated in a while, and I have some of my stuff for sale here: http://GreenLadyInn.etsy.com though it's going to primarily be for my wife's jewelry and whatnot. Most of my work is on a private commission basis, and a lot of them prefer to keep some mystery about the origins of their pieces...

Here's my newest piece, Specimen #405

Which will be available on eBay tomorrow evening around 6pm here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZavalon_ink
