I am proud to announce that I have become an official member of the Birmingham Art Association. Hurrah.

Bust with Braid

So this piece has been taking a lot longer than originally anticipated. 

I'm almost done with it. 

This is the first bust i've done with, well, bust.

Drawing Machine mark II

A little background:

Freshman year i made a small contraption that made scribbles on paper. I was truly fascinated by this. It was rather basic; pretty much a pen tied to a small electric motor.

Well, I've decided to make a second version of this device. One with a broader range of motion. I have not decided what will determine the motion of the drawing tool, but it will most likely be something that has random movement.

This will serve as a model for something bigger. Well, at least that's the plan.

Faux Finish

This is how the pieces eventually end up looking.

The goal here is to make it look like metal. 

Oh yeah, ignore the Christmas tablecloth.

More Work in Progress

Alright, same deal.
Head.
This time though I'm going to give it straight hair. Flowing, maybe it'll go down to the base. Also, I might attempt to put some sort of clothing. Like a low cut ruffly collar thingy. Should be good.

Finished...?

Alright, so here are the latest pictures of the latest sculpture.
I feel it's done for now. I have to wait till it dries some more so i can go back and carve into it.
Woot.

Work in progress!

So, here is the newest piece.

It's still kinda rough, and the head looks a little awkward, but i think it's getting there.

 

I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to do with it, but I knew I wanted a dramatic gesture.
