Trying Out New Things
I have been on a quest lately to try out stronger, weatherproof materials that I will be able to handle without using special equipment.

Burning the Midnight Oil
I am still hastily preparing for the Bronx Little Italy Art Show. I want to try to focus on more affordable pieces so that everyone could have a little Melandolly of their own. It’s at that point where I’m beginning to feel the crunch, I have about 2 1/2 weeks to try and crank all Read more

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.
