Description
This is a clay self portrait head I'm turning into a foliate mask. I decided to take some pictures of it before I cut it completely apart. Of course I managed to decide this AFTER making the first few cuts. I rather like the way the photos came out, nevertheless.
Although the work in my gallery isn't really chronologically ordered, I think even the casual observer can see a definite progression. I honestly think this work in progress "a la ginsu" is better at this stage than some of my earlier finished pieces, which is why I decided to post it.
What progress I have made is entirely due to the classes I've been taking in the last couple of years from fellow Render-guy "Plantar", whose work can be seen both in his 'Rosity gallery and here: http://stores.ebay.com/GalleryNumber23
Yes, I know--it's a shameless plug, but he deserves it--unfortunately they don't dole out hazard pay to instructors stuck with students like me...

Wonderful work in clay --obvious fine modeling skills--good photography and composition--excellent image --and if you hadn't provided an explantaion--it could by itself take on a surreal or macabre tone in it's placement !

Fantastic. As I've said before, I envy your talents ... I have always had an appreciation for accomplished sculptors ... I tried sculpting many years ago and, WELL...I work in Photoshop, if that tells you anything !!! This is exceptionally FINE work! Congratulations !!!

Great work as allways, if it wasn't, I do have the missing ear.

taking the picture after you started cutting is what has totally made this as a photo(of course, i would love to see it in black and white, but i am nutty that way). as a sculpture, it is spectacular! for the temporary lack of any other word more descriptive: WOW!
