Sculpting a model is a lot of fun! Today was a busy one but I managed two sessions to work on the sunken ship model. Angie mixed epoxy for me as I did my best to use it as quickly as it came off the mixing table. She's fast! Angie also sculpted the small crab perched on the rock beside the ship. The study model is to be used to garner financial support for the project. Detail is important but more critical is the need to capture the feeling of the final project and the story we are telling. In my two, hour long sculpting sessions I managed more than half of the sculpt. Tomorrow's effort should have it ready for paint.
Workshop video
We sure enjoyed last week's Sculpture Magic Workshop and received back a great many favourable comments from our guests. During the workshop we had our friends from Inmist film the event so they could produce a short video to promote future workshops. Today that video was released. Thanks to everyone who attended the workshop and also the great crew at Inmist for capturing the magic of those days!
The good old days!
The Inmist crew filmed our recent workshop and are assembling a short video to promote future workshops. As part of that project they asked me to provide some old photographs of our early days in business. I searched through our archives and came across some great photos. I was reminded of our humble beginnings and the long journey to where we are today. My search through old photos also brought back some wonderful memories of good times.
For more than a decade I travelled across Canada and the USA painting more than one hundred and twenty historical murals. Each summer, when school was out we logged tens of thousands of miles on working holidays, criss crossing the countryside to get to the far flung towns and cities where we would do our work. The kids (and Janis too on occasion) would climb the tall scaffolds with me and paint beside me. They were indeed the good old days.
