Time
for a much overdue update so let's get started! First up, I'm
very excited to show off my very first hyper-realistic silicone
bust! I sculpted the transformation (change-o-head) werewolf head
from 'An American Werewolf in London', not only is this piece
complete platinum silicone, it also has acrylic dentures and has
punched hair! You can find more photos of this piece in the 'Horror'
section. Second is my all new 1:1 'Indiana Jones' bust, besides
my silicone plans for this one I also tackled a sculpted hair
version as a 'commission' that will be cast in resin. You can
find more pictures of my all new Indy bust in the 'Adventure'
section and stayed tuned for the silicone version of him as well.
Third up is a 'work in progress' 1:1 Bruce
Lee Bust, you'll find more pictures of this new sculpture in the
'Adventure'
section. And last I'm excited to show off this final prototype
of 'Captain Jack Sparrow' I sculpted and painted for NECA! I've
been very busy this year so the updates are fewer in between,
but I hope to have some more hyper-realistic silicone pieces to
show off soon!
