Rockabilly (ローラ族) mask. The Japanese Rockabilly sub culture is an idea I’ve always wanted to explore in my art work. I’ve never felt creativity exists in a vacuum so I thought it was so interesting when something that is so uniquely American making its way to Japan where they in turn put their own twist to it. When sculpting this mask I drew heavily from one of the coolest Japanese Rockabillies out there, Johnny Daigo @johnny_daigo !! If you haven’t seen his performances, go check it out!! 🎸Sculpted in @chavant_clay NSP soft. I will have this piece displayed at Studio Aki’s @studio_aki booth during Monsterpalooza weekend, come say hi!! Resin castings will be made available soon. #rockabilly #johnnypandora #johnnydaigo #sculpture #fineart

Raijin (雷神), god of thunder in Japanese mythology and Buddhism. One of the purposes for my most recent trip to Japan was to refuel my creative vessel and get in touch with my cultural roots to help inspire my fine art work. Upon visiting Sanjusangendo (三十三間堂) in Kyoto and seeing the incredible sculpture work on display there I was immediately awestruck. Drawing upon that energy from my visit I immediately started sculpting this mask of Raijin. Resin castings will be available for purchase so anyone who is interested please shoot me a message. Sculpted in @chavant_clay contour medium. #raijin #sculpture #clay #thundergod #buddhism #deity #characterdesign #sanjusangendo #todaijitemple #fujin #chavantclay

New piece for @rbfx based on the Billy Butcherson character from Hocus Pocus. The stitches are just a temporary place holder, the piece will be available with separate stitches that can be added later. Thank you Roland for giving me the opportunity to sculpt another fun character for the catalog!

Neanderthal mask I recently sculpted for @immortalmasks . I have always had a keen interest in hominids and early man so sculpting this character was a lot of fun.

“Depraved” New face mask sculpture I recently did for @immortalmasks . @andrewfreeman27 initially did a really cool loose sketch of a demonic ghost type character and it was a lot of fun to fill in the blanks.

Nai Khanom Tom (นายขนมต้ม) This was a small (1/6 scale?) study as a proposal for a much larger figure for a local Muay Thai gym. In Thailand the name Nai Khanom Tom is synonymous with Muay Thai and is a revered figure in the martial art, often being seen in statue form in front of many Muay Thai gyms. This was such a refreshing change of pace to do something more in the vein of fine art as I’m often sculpting creatures for my day job. Unfortunately this project did not go through but I hope I get another chance to revisit this in its intended scale. #sculpture #figuresculpting #muaythai #muayboran #naikhanomtom #naikhanomtomday #fineart #martialarts #waikru #thailand #thaiboxing
