Distant War Cries - Revisited - Part 02

Today's video is an adventure in trying to come up with a subject for my clay. On the second day, having gone through my model pictures, I came up with a glimmer of an idea. A Crow Indian with a weapon and a shield. Well that's the idea as of this video from the summer of 2012. A week from my delivery of Captain John Lovewell bronze to my client in Lake Tahoe California and my appearance at the James Harold Gallery there over the 4th of July 2012.

Distant War Cries - Revisited - Part 01

I started this clay on June 18th 2012. It started out as an untitled idea. Soon it turned into a clay of a Crow Warrior who's wrapped in a Buffalo Robe, who hears, the war cries of an invading tribe. The Crows had many enemies in the Indian Nations. I've dubbed my voice over the original video, because of copyright problems with music. In this video.. I'm trying to come up with a subject for my new project. I go through several positioning of the armature to try and stimulate my imagination. Again this was last June.

Morning Joe - Finishing it Up Today

Finished up the clay of "Morning Joe" today. I started by finishing the back of the shirt, then, adding a small cast iron frying pan and a stack of wood.. Finally, I set up my instant photo studio, to photograph the clay for promotion.

Morning Joe - Making a Two Cup Coffee Pot

Spent the day, making a 2 cup coffee pot. They weren't very big.. The pot had to fit into a saddle bag. Saw one in an old TV skit with John Wayne and Red Skelton. I'm adding the video of that little routine to my blog. In the video, you see John Wayne pour himself a cup of coffee from a small pot.. That's where I got my idea for the size.

In Honor of Our Veterans...

This is to honor all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for America, from the Revolution to the present day. My dad, Homer Harold Lemon, served proudly in the Pacific during World War 2, and during the Korean War. He passed a few years back. He was part of the greatest generation.

 A bronze I created to honor our Veterans, "Veteran's Legacy", Ennis Montana.

 

Morning Joe - Extend the Base and Re-do the Cup

Started out by re-doing the coffee cup, making it smaller. Then I extended the size of the base to accomidate part of the fire pit. I then created the rock ring and added some wood to the fire. I then made a tin can of beans.. His dinner from the night before.
