My life’s been filled with distractions left and right, and I haven’t been able to truly focus on sculpting and on my photography for the past three months. My gut feeling is that it’s time to rethink how I’m using the internet, why I’m using the internet, and how I can do MORE by using the internet less.
First off, I’m just not going to be posting on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Tumblr unless it’s something worthy of being in a portfolio. Personal business should be done in person, and works in progress will stay off the main blog page. I’ll still try to post behind the scenes work here from time to time, but I really am aching to get off the net.
Sounds crazy, but my goal is to improve as a person and with tangible relationships. I know that the vast majority of the subscriber online don’t read this and probably miss 90% of my good work anyways, so for the few that actually check out my stuff in detail, just know that the work will be better the next time around.
See you in a few weeks most likely.

29. Dashing Combover (360º view)
Time lapse and Explanation behind Dashing Combover
So, if you’re wondering where the heck I came up with the last post (in reference to Dashing Combover), it’s from my silly childhood. My grandma had this lhasa apso that had really fluffy ears that I would push to one side and it looked just like a combover! I’ve been looking for images of people doing this to other dogs, but no one did it. Naturally I had to sculpt it…
I was also made fun of for having a part in my hair for years. Some jerks in school said I had a combover. lol
Notes: 1
I actually removed the background for the gallery shot, this is the original. lolz
Walrus Cabbie (360)
Light setup.
This is the sketch for yesterday’s sculpture. Clearly different than what I wound up with, but it still is interesting to take note of the original concept.
View the finished sculpture.
Back from the store with 10 pounds of plasticine. Keep jumping between doing a themed series of clay characters or just having a lot of fun with it. I’m leaning towards the latter…
If you haven’t seen on my main site, I’m getting ready for a trip to the East Coast, and I’m bringing sculptures along to take pictures of them in ‘the wild’.
To make things better, I have heightened sensitivity to everything, I always have. When my hands have small cuts, I might as well have gashed them. I’ll be miserable for the next few days thanks to the wire cuts.
Incredibly sad. I haven’t been able to sculpt for the past month, and I probably won’t be able to until I stop working so much. As nice as it is to be paid more, I get depressed every time I go a week or more without sculpting. Perhaps when my hands heal, I’ll just do sculpts without armatures, because I just keep cutting myself.
Hope tomorrow’s better. I am going to practice my harmonica playing in the meantime.
