Hello dear friends, I would like to present to you my one and only life size waxwork that I created of Madonna. I sculpted this many years ago and this portrait was based on her Blonde Ambition tour 1990 image.
This statue was sculpted in water based clay and then moulded in plaster and I created a cast in wax. I then painted the wax with oil paint and various makeup in order to create a skin colour. The statue had glass eyes and a full wig and was dressed in real clothes made by my auntie Sue Topp.
This photo is the artistic tint portrait shot of the finished work of art.
Happy Friday evening to you, hope you're well and Take care.
Hello dear friends, I would like to present to you my sculpture called Mirror Mirror Vampire, MMV. The sculpture is shown here in a black and white photograph that was taken in the workshop and is more or less finished, perhaps just a little tweek here and there.
The sculpture is about 28 inches high and was modelled in water based clay. It is a work of art based on the horror theme of vampires. This sculpture is based on the idea of an evil female vampire that lived in a mirror.
I'll show a couple close up photos of this project a little later in time, I hope your having a good week and keeping well, Take care.
Hello dear friends, this is a workshop photo and is a first look at my new sculpture called Wisdom. Wisdom is actually going to be a portrait sculpture of one of my late Grandmother's.
I had two very kind and beautiful Nan's, my lovely Nan Topp who was my father's Mother and my lovely Nan Tribe who was my Mums Mother. This sculpture will be a portrait of my late Nan Tribe as I just seem to have a few more photographs of her. And if I'm to create a fine likeness I need as many photos of my subject as possible.
The sculpture will be called Wisdom because as a little boy I remember feeling back then as though my dear old Nan new everything I ever asked her.
This photo shows the sculpture at stage 2 of the process, I will now begin to map at features as I start stage 3 of the sculpt. There's a long way to go but in the end this will become a very detailed life like portrait.
I hope your having a great week and I'll look forward to showing you more of this, the development on this sculpture soon, Take care.
Hello dear friends, very recently I presented the original colour photograph of my sculpture called Tut. So tonight I thought that I would present that photo to you as a black and white photo.
I always like how clay sculpture looks in black and white photographs, it seems to give an almost more striking appearance about the piece .
I'm looking forward to presenting the next photo of The Lost Boy Of Venice on here very soon , hope you're having a pleasant week, keep well and Take care ποΈππ€

Dear Friends I present a sculpture I created long ago of a Gremlins puppet , this was an attempt of me creating the character Spike from the film Gremlins . This was modelled in oil based clay and then painted with acrylic paints to demonstrate a finished look .
Hello dear friends, may I present a newly creative version of my sculpture called The Glamour Girl. I've taken many photographs of past sculptures and it's only perhaps over the last two years that I've started to edit the pictures. To see if I can create some interesting images that might work for future wall art, I call this image " Burning Up " and of course it's The Glamour Girl. I hope January has started well for you and may I wish you a great rest of this week, Take care π€βΊοΈπ
Hello dear friends, my sculpture Wisdom from time to time has to be put on hold as I have to paint frames for my canvas wrap prints.
Today I would very much like to present the Hue blue canvas wrap print called The Egyptian Pharaoh, now fitted into it's white frame.
I created this from a photograph I took of my clay sculpture called The Egyptian Pharaoh, which was modelled in water based clay and life size.
Hope you're having a great week, the next photo I show will be the next stage of my new sculpture Wisdom, Take care.

Hello dear friends, this is a new photo edit I created from a photograph of my sculpture called Mirror Mirror Vampire. I've nicknamed this picture She's Hungry, the idea was to create a kind of hazy blue ghostly look about the picture. Just a little bit of creative fun in order to make the sculpture look a different way .
Very soon I will show photo no 2 of my new sculpture The Lost Boy Of Venice in the making. Hope you're having a good week, Take care ππ€.
Dear Friends I present photo no 2 of my sculpture The Prairie Rattler Rattlesnake , this was life size and modelled in oil based clay . I then painted it with acrylic paints to achieve a life like finish , shown here in a close up black and white photograph .
