Hello dear friends, may I present a new recently taken photograph of one of my framed canvas wrap print's. This is a close up photo of a print called The Lonely Girl.

This print was created from a photograph I took of a clay sculpture I modelled called The Lonely Girl, the sculpture was nearly about life size and with fine detail.

This print is shown as a blue toned art work and sits in a specially made white frame.

Soon I will be able to start showing in the making progress photos of my new sculpture which I'm working on called The Lost Boy Of Venice.

As it's Friday may I wish you a happy weekend, keep well and Take care 🖐️🤗.

Hello dear friends, may I finally present the finishing shot of my sculpture called Wisdom.

Wisdom is a portrait of my dear late Nan, I have modelled this sculpture to the best of my ability. Working from memory and a hand full of family photos.

The sculpture is life size and modelled in water based clay, and of course now its finished I get to start my new sculpture.

My new sculpture will be called The Lost Boy Of Venice, I'll start showing in the making photos of this sculpture very soon.

I hope you're having a great week so far, I wish you well, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present a back shot of my sculpture Wisdom, this portrait is now more or less finished. And I thought before I presented the final front shot I would just show one more back shot. To show the final finishing of the portraits hair.

I hope you're keeping well and I wish you a great weekend, Take care.

Hello dear friends, I hope I find you well on this Friday evening, tonight I would like present a new photograph of my sculpture called MMV.

This is my clay sculpture called Mirror Mirror Vampire, I finished this back in 2021 and this was an idea based on a horror theme.

I loved creating this horror sculpture and I'm now thinking about possibly creating a second MMV sculpture which will be a follow up to this horror theme.

Wisdom is so close to the finish after some changes and I will show it very soon finally complete.

I wish you a lovely weekend, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present a further collaboration with the very talented artist buckhead1111. This was created from a photograph of my sculpture called The Classical Venetian.

This is a wonderful fuse of my sculpture and the very talented buckhead1111s artistic vision in creating such atmosphere and style about the picture.

It has been an honour to have these pictures created involving my sculpture as buckhead1111 is so talented, I hope in the future to be able to show further works with this artist.

Hello dear friends, hope your well on this Friday evening, tonight I would like to present another collaboration with the very talented artist buckhead1111.

This is a 2nd perspective t-shirt design using my sculpture Tut and buckhead1111's amazing visionary talent for creating stunning images.

I like to call this one The Golden Tut t-shirt design and it's one of my favourite looks, as it sticks with emphasis that most Egyptian treasure was actually gold.

And I genuinely think that the colours black and gold go beautifully together, looking forward very much to presenting the finishing shots of Wisdom very very soon.

Keep well and Take care, Happy weekend my dear friends.

Hello dear friends, may I present an update on my sculpture Wisdom, the sculpture has really taken on the true look of my dear late Nan now. Though there is just some very fine tuning left and then very soon I will be able to present the final photograph.

There's a rosy look about the face and I'm really capturing the character and expression of my subject. Once I've finished this sculpture I will look forward very much to starting a new sculpture which I will call The Lost Boy of Venice. I'll talk more about this new project very soon once Wisdom is finally finished.

I'll look forward very much to presenting something to you again next week. Have a great Friday evening and have a great weekend, Take care.

Hello dear friends, hope your all well, tonight may I present a 3rd collaboration with my amazing artist friend buckhead1111. I like to call this one The Pink Pop art Tut. This is a stylish and striking fuse of my clay sculpture and buckhead1111's amazing visionary talent.

Many different pictures have been created in this style involving very beautiful colours and they truly are eye popping. It has been an honour to have met buckhead1111 and had these stunning images created. To my delight I will be able to present further collaborations between myself and this amazing artist.

Next week I will hope to present an update on my sculpture Wisdom, so so close to the finish now, just trying to get it to be as best as I can, sometimes it's hard to let go and say it's finished. I'll try to show something each Friday so that I can hopefully keep an interesting kind of blog going.

Well it's Friday so may I wish you a great weekend, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the next photograph of Wisdom in the making, this is a life size clay portrait I'm sculpting of my late Nan.

I took this photo from behind the sculpture on the left side of the portrait and it is to show the developing sculpting of the portraits hair style. You can also see a slight side profile of the face, the curls of the wavey perm are really taking shape.

Getting close to the finishing touches and then I will be able to present the final photograph of the finished portrait.

Hope you've had a good week and I wish you a great weekend, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present a second collaboration with the very talented artist buckhead1111. This was created with a side profile photograph I took of my clay sculpture Tut.

This is a beautiful fuse of the clay sculpture and buckhead1111's fabulous visionary talent for creating backgrounds and lucid colours and patterns.

I like to call this design the cosmopolitan cut Tut as I feel its a beautiful metropolitan twist on an old legend. I wonder if a design like this could make for stunning very large prints, time will tell.

I would like to thank buckhead1111 for the collaborations, and I will have the honour to show further designs. May I wish you a great weekend, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends I hope your well on this Friday evening, may I present to you my canvas wrap print of Little Boy Tom. This was created from my clay sculpture, and the print is shown here as a hue blue in a white frame.

I'm now going to begin a selling campaign by trying to place these in shops in various towns with in Dorset which is where I currently live. This is the official start of selling and I have my fingers crossed that I can achieve sales.

In June I move and begin my travels, I'll do a post about this very soon, once I'm based in the city that I want to be based, it will be then that I will start an official website I promise.

Next week I will look forward very much to showing you a second collaboration with the amazing buckhead1111, and of course by the end of next week Wisdom should be more or less finished too.

Have a great weekend, keep well and Take care.

Happy weekend to you keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I apologise to you as tonight I will not be showing a finishing shot of Wisdom as I said I would be. But and its a good but I wanted to present a t-shirt design created from one of my sculptures called Tut. Via an artistic collaboration between myself and the very talented artist buckhead1111 who I had the honour and privilege to meet on this very app tumblr.

buckhead1111 is a very talented visionary artist who helped me visualise the sculpture in becoming a beautiful striking design on a t-shirt. And what you see here is a perspective look at what it would look like as a worn item.

I will talk more about buckhead1111 as I present further designs that have been created, I would like very much to collaborate on more designs with this amazing artist.

Next week for sure I will present a finishing photograph of my sculpture Wisdom I promise. I hope you've had a great start to the new year this week, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, tonight I was going to show a side profile photo of Wisdom, but as its New Years eve I thought I would present this stylish and striking photo of Tut.

This is the super close up side profile photo of my sculpture Tut shown as a new sparkling hue blue, I will show the side profile of Wisdom on Friday night next week.

As its New Years eve May I wish you all a very Happy New Year, all the best, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, can't believe that as I sit here typing this it's Christmas eve before we know it summer will be here again. My sculpture Wisdom is now in its final stages, tonight I would like to present a photo showing the back of the sculpture. I just wanted to show the last stage of forming the hair style which is close to the finish.

Next week on Friday evening I will show a side profile photo of the face and then on the following week I will show a full frontal photo showing the portrait finished. To the full likeness and detail etc, I've put a lot of work into this sculpture in the hope that I can make a very life like head.

I wish you a very Happy Christmas and I look forward very much to showing you the next photo of Wisdom, can't wait to for you to see this finished, Take care.

Hello dear friends, a little something here I wanted to share just before I start showing the finishing shots of Wisdom.

This is the vintage shot of a previous vampire project I modelled long ago and it was one project that I never actually finished.

These are modelled teeth that I created and I suppose I was trying to create a light snarl as though she was about to bite. Not every project always works out the way you want but I did manage to get this photo.

Can't wait to to show you Wisdom not long now and this is one sculpture that will be finished up beautifully.

Hope you're having a great week, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, just a little something I've created here from a photograph of my sculpture of Tut. I call this picture the The illusion cut Tut, I enjoy creating these on the computer, it's a little bit of creative imagination time away from sculpture.

Wisdom has just 3 more weeks and then I will be able to show the photos of the sculpture finished and I look forward to that. For it will mean that I get to start a brand new sculpture and I've come up with a wonderful idea for a new project that I think will be interesting.

As always I hope your keeping well, I'll show another photo in this gallery very soon, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the next photograph of my sculpture Wisdom. The sculpture is really taking shape now and I'm very close to the finish. It's now all about the fine tuning of the wrinkles, lines and really trying to capture the very character of my subject.

The likeness is nearly there and once the fine tuning is finished and subtle shaping is over this portrait should be a full likeness of my dear late Nan. I really look forward to showing you the finished shots very soon and then I will be able to start a new sculpture.

It's Saturday evening here in England so I hope you're having a great weekend, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, from time to time on a computer I create pen sketch designs from photographs of my sculptures. It enables me to present the sculpture as a drawing, I like doing these as it's a different way of viewing it.

This is the red pen sketch design of a large creature I created long ago, I think this picture really brings out the character. This guy was a large friendly, loveable, clumsy and very likeable creature and I think it shows in this picture.

I'll try and sculpt up another character creature design in 2022 if it's possible, work is on going on Wisdom I look forward to showing the next photo very soon. Hope you've had a good start to the week, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom. This photograph was taken from behind the portrait coming from the right side of the sculpture. Work is on going in terms of creating the hair style and slowly a wavey perm like style will develop.

The face is being refined and I am now adding the lines and really trying to create the finishing details. Soon I will be able to turn the sculpture and hopefully reveal a beautiful likeness of the subject. Once finished this will be a portrait of my late dear Nan.

Hope you've had a great weekend and I wish you a great week ahead, I'll show another photo very soon, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present a previously shown sculpture to you but today I show this sculpture in a new photo design. This is the worn torn close up photo of a large creature design sculpture that I sculpted long ago.

I took the original photo of this sculpture just as I was finishing up and this was a great project to create. I haven't actually created a creature design in a long time but perhaps next year I will able to create a new one,I'd really look forward to that.

I hope to show at the end of the week the next photo of my new sculpture Wisdom, I will finish this sculpture sometime in this month. Then I will begin my new project called Tiny Tiger Tim which I can't wait to start.

Hope you've had a great start to the week, I wish you well, Take care.

Hello dear friends I thought that I would slip in here tonight to share with you some of my details for my first trip to America. As I've mentioned in a previous post I'm very interested in working in California as an artist.

I have a pre Visa meeting coming up soon where I will have the process of applying for a visa explained to me, you can have these meetings before you officially approach the USA Embassy in London. The idea is to really work out if you will have a real chance and to understand what you will face.

But before I start to apply officially I'm going to save to make two trips out to California next year. For my first trip I will stay in Los Angeles and spend some time in Griffith Park, Pasadena and Hesperia I'll also visit Lake side in San Diego too. The idea of this trip will be to see what I think of the areas and to really find out how I would feel about living there if it can be achieved.

Then a second trip will be made to talk about artistic matters, this trip will be planned at a later date. I hope to make trip 1 in April next year so its not to far away. I'm on a real journey now and time will tell if I can achieve my dream of being based in California.

I will look forward dear friends to sharing all the twists and turns and ups and downs of what I will going through in order of trying to pull this off.

Happy evening to you, Take the best care.

Hello dear friends, may I present to you the gold lit side profile photograph of my sculpture called Tut. This is a newly created picture and perhaps a possible image that I might use for canvas wrap prints. I will let you know when I make the prints available for those that might be interested in hanging one, fingers crossed I can achieve that.

Hope your keeping well and have had a nice start to the week, I always wish for you to Take care. I look forward very much to showing you further developments on my new sculpture Wisdom soon, keep well in all your different parts of the world.

Hi dear friends, may I present the next stage of my sculpture Wisdom in the making, I'm really starting to sculpt the hair now.

The hair mass and volume has been added and its now all about creating the individual sections of the hair style. My late Nan had a slight perm look about her.

So it's going to be a lot of sculpting curls on curls kind of thing and breaking it into separate sections and bunches of curling tendrils.

It's surprising how much sculpting will go into trying to achieve that look. I look forward very much to showing you more, it won't be to long now until this portrait will be finished.

This photograph was taken from behind the left side of the portrait and shown as a black and white picture.

As always I hope you're having a great week, keep well and Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the blue pens sketch design of my sculpture MMV. I wanted to try and create an image that was striking, startling and perhaps eye catching.

This image was created from a photograph that I took of my sculpture MMV, sometimes sculptures can be tense to create as a lot goes into it in terms of the look and detailing. But I've got to say that creating this on a computer was perhaps a little bit of creative fun time.

I'm kind of toying with the idea of perhaps creating some items with this design on it for horror fans maybe. I'm really working hard on Wisdom and very soon I will be able to present the next photo to you.

Hope you've had a great week and I wish you a great weekend, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom in the making. I took this photo from beneath the sculpture as looking up at the portrait is always a good way to check the setting of the facial features.

There's still a little way to go on this sculpture but it won't be much longer until I get to the finish. Just making small changes now and really getting to the nitty gritty detailing in order to really bring this portrait to life. And achieve the fully finished likeness of the subject.

The exciting thing is that once this portrait is finished I will begin a new sculpture called Tiny Tiger Tim. I'll talk about this soon in the meantime I hope you've had a great Tuesday, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present to you the Michael Jackson pencil sketch design. This was created from a photograph that I took of my portrait sculpture of Michael Jackson.

The Portrait was modelled in water based clay and was life size, the sculpture was based on a photo of the singer taken on his Bad Tour.

The effect is clever because it means that I can create a sculpture, take a photo of it and then turn that photo into a sketch. So that I can hang it on the wall as wall art in terms that it now looks like a hanging drawing.

I'll look forward to trying this out with some of my other sculptures, very soon I will show the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom in the making, the sculpture is becoming more life like all the time.

Happy weekend to you, Take care.

Hello dear friends, may I present the next photo of my sculpture Wisdom in the making to you. I have now added the hair mass to the sculpture and I am developing the hair style.

The sculpture is now really starting to take on the shape of an old lady and very soon the portrait will be the face of my dear late Nan.

There is still much to do and it will be all the little adjustments that I'm doing all the time now that will finally be part of achieving the likeness.

I'm going to really push this sculpture so that in the end I deliver up a very life like portrait, I can't wait to show you more of this sculpture very soon. Hope your having a great week and keep well and Take care.
