Wanna see some of my art? [View all]

Hello Duers!

I wanted to share few fantasy themed pieces I created this year. I'm an artist/sculptor and I've worked primarily in the toy and collectible industry for almost 20 years but I do get the chance to do some original gallery work now and then.


'Destroyer God' 18" tall epoxy putty, resin polymer clay.



'Revi-Hina' 18" tall epoxy putty, resin polymer clay. She came from a dream I had napping one summer afternoon.




'Yama' 21" tall epoxy putty, resin polymer clay. I love Buddhist and Hindu iconography and he's been a kicking around in my head for over ten years. I'm so glad he has finally seen the light of day.





And lastly this is my 'Barack Obama' bust. He's actually older than this year and of course not fantasy but I thought I'd include him.



This line of work is such a labor of love for me and I love to share! Thanks for looking guys!

Peace!
