Well as you can see, been away for some time… Still managing to get work done, but due to finances, i had to move house and leave sunny Somerset, back to the more affluent south east….
So I’m here now, had a lucky landing, met a stone carver who has had to stop work for a few months due to ill health, managed to haggle his studio for a low rent. So have started work. The weather has not been so friendly, but by now I should be used to working under tarpaulin in the mud.
I’m still way behind on the promotional side of my work, I have a kind of mental block when it comes to self promotion, and normally end up running to my studio to continue the carvings rather than anything ‘desk’ based…
Still I have some portraits to do, which is a bit of a god send, as you can imagine, life here is a little more expensive than in the sticks.
Myself and three other old friends have taken on my house to be used for an Open House, in may 2010. I’m nervous about it, and have the same niggling feeling that I don’t have enough work… I do have the quantity, but as my work improves I question the quality of the pervious works. Still you have to start some where.
Please look through my work at your leisure and make any constructive comments or suggestions.
ref pictures…. the portraits are comming on, still some studies to do, on structure, bones, muscles etc…
the Elephants were done asa joint project between myself and DV Murugan of Tamil Nadu, its a design taken from Anjunas penance, Mamallapuram… To be placed in a garden in the south east, the final details will be carved in pleace, sorry for the quality of the photos, i will update as i can….
an of course my tarp palace, new home… little cold at the mo, and am spending a bit too much time reparing it after the wind and rain attempts to dismantle it almost every week…
there is an update photo on the garden sculpture, she has had her hips narrowed and is now almost complete, i’m not letting her go till im totally happy with her, or maybe the lessons learnt are for the next peice?
