From November 2011, I Take a Tour of the Wax Room at the Foundry



Back in November 9th, 2011, I shot this video as I took my bronze, The Plains Warrior, back to the foundry, and shot a video tour of the wax room and ceramic rooms at the foundry. I then show the storage area where all the molds of all the artists that the foundry serves are stored. This is just one of several storage facilities. Just reposting this video, because I'm always asked how bronze is created.. this is just the first steps in that process.

My 6th Instructional DVD and a Sneak Peek at the Progress of the Clay



Another sneak peek. I do wish I could just post each day's video in full.. This as best as I can do for now. I have one maybe two more DVDs to make, then I'm done with them, and I'll be back to doing full videos of future pieces. In this video, I am figuring out the blanket that will be sheltering the Mountain Man from the rain.

Starting Another DVD on Sculpting day 2



This is the second day on the armature and I started to add clay.. Again this is a peek at my new DVD.

Starting my 6th Instructional DVD Day 1



I know it's been a while since I've posted anything and I do apologize for that. I've been busy with a new project that I'm putting on DVD. It will be the creation of a Mountain Man. Here is a peek at the beginning of this new clay.

A Review Of All Five Of My Instructional DVDs That I have for Sale


I've taken literally over 6 hours of video, and reduced it to just over 12 minutes. I've taken all 5 of my instructional DVDs and edited then down on one video. This Video. I show parts of ever one of them so that you can look and decide if one or more are what your looking for. I spent two days putting this together. I hope you enjoy this video.

TruForm Armature and Imagining Possibilities



An artist/sculptor has to visualize his next project. Looking at the simple stance of this Truform Armature, gets my mind working. Feeling the clay in my mind on the armature, I feel a subject form in my head, and once that form solidifies, then I start to create. It's just a short video explaining what goes on in my brain as I look at this armature.

Showing Another Use Of A TruForm Armauture



Today I show another use for the TruForm 24 inch tall armature. You can buy this or the larger one, and then instead of putting clay on it. Use it to work out your proportions for an armature you'd want to make, and keep this, for future projects.
