The Evolution of Feet
With this last piece that I’ve worked on for Innuendos, I found myself sculpting a couple of things for the first time. The most challenging out of them all were the eight arms hands down (no pun intended!), but the most unusual out of my first time items were the feet.

Northside Festival: With a Few Melandollies
I have to say that the Northside Festival was my most challenging event by far! The Artist Chain Reaction at The Andrew Freedman home was pretty tough being that it was my first time creating a sculpture of almost 4 feet tall, but this time I had to create a few more in less than three weeks for an Read more

Joyce is Now Complete
So here’s how Joyce turned out. In the process of creating this doll, I heavily relied on how she was portrayed in the documentary about her. Her character was dressed in blue throughout the whole movie, so I chose to to do the same with the doll. I decided to go with the hair style Read more

Zombies Have Feelings Too
The funny thing is that making a zombie doll was the furthest thing from my mind when I originally started this one. When I let the clay dry, I noticed that her bone structure was a bit strong. That was the moment that I realized what she had become. But don’t let her looks fool Read more
