King Bob

 

King Bob in all his resplendent glory. This piece foreshadowed another model with heterochromia I would sculpt a few months later.

Whale Shark  

My second version of the Whale Shark. The whale shark (Rhincodon typus), is the largest fish species and the largest non-mammalian vertebrate, reaching over 40 feet and weighing up to 47,000 pounds. This slow moving giant is found in warm seas all over the globe and feed on plankton and small fish. Whale sharks are estimated to live over 70 years, and are considered harmless to humans. Compare with my Whale Shark 1.0.

A second version of the Pokemon-ish Armadillo Girdled Lizard, for a nice artists' swap with ceramics colleague. Compare with Armadillo Girdled Lizard 1.0.

Wave Study

 

I like sculpting water because it's relaxing and is quite meditative. I typically use water to support the main piece - examples include The Birth of Venus, Flying Fish, and many of my jewelry dishes: Mermaid Venus Watch Tray, Dolphin Jewelry Dish, White Humpback Whale Jewelry Dish. This is the first of what I plan to be a series of wave studies using the same process and celadon glazes, refining the technique along the way.
