Painting Big Bear – Wrapping Things Up!

Well, I must say….This one turned out a lot better than I thought it would.  When planning a figure with a lot of individual parts there is always a worry that something won’t fit.  In this case it was the limited number of Bear Claws as a normal neckless has many more than there are…

Jack Palance Video Series

Just came across this video series from quite a few years ago that I don’t think was published here on this Blog. It’s Jack Palance in his role from the movie “Shane” where he played “Mean Mr. Wilson”!  It has Eleven segments which got a little mixed up when uploading them to Youtube, but they…

El Escarabajo – Part 2

Sometimes a Fella needs a little tune up.  After noticing that the local senoritas were not paying attention like they used to in his younger years, El Escarabajo decided to iron out a few wrinkles to hopefully get back to his younger self.   As I mentioned in Part 1 on this character, I really wasn’t…

El Escarabajo

While this figure turned out alright I guess, it’s not one of my best.  The nose is way too big and the wrinkles are just to much for a small figure.  As for the painting, the darkness of the eyes and the black mustache seem to overpower everything.  I like the sombrero, especially the detail…

It’s Been A While!

Good grief!  I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since my last post. While I’m a little embarrassed for the absence, there were good reasons for it but I won’t list them all here. Let me just say I will endeavor to do a better job to keep you up to date on what’s happening…

Rise & Shine!

I was going to post another old video project I came across this morning but, while searching through the files, I came across this little nugget of a piece I did back in 2009.  We didn’t do a full video series while making it but maybe this photo/musical video will give you an idea of…

Distant Horizons – Part 2

It’s taken me a while to finally get this lady’s operation finished but here she is with her new head.  I think it’s definitely an improvement with the other one.  I hope you agree.  So, back to the chores around the place.  We’re hoping that the approaching fall season will slow things down a bit…

Distant Horizons – Major Repair

Due to some major damage during a move, it was necessary to carve this young lady a new head.  In a way I’m glad as I never really was satisfied with the original one.  So, after some effort to carve off the old without damaging the body I think the carving ended up much better…
