I can finally break the silence

I had this very cool commission that I have been working on for the past couple months and I couldn't breath a word of it due to the fact that the person it was for reads my facebook page...whether she reads my blog, tweets or fan page I cannot say. ;o)

Anyway, Christmas is over, the sculpture was given and now I can show it to you. It still feels funny because it was a big secret but I am pleased to say that we got away with it. She was completely surprised!


This is a 'personalized sculpture'. By 'personalized' I mean that it has characteristics of the person: hair style, eye color, kayak, etc but not a replica of the person herself. This is how her kayak is (color and all) and color of her life jacket, etc.

Is there someone in your life that you would like forever in a sculpture? Send me an e-mail and we can talk about it. :o)

What did she say?? What a great surprise that must been for her! It looks so awesome, Amy. I'm looking forward to the "personal" illustration of my little man that you'll soon be working on for me.

Thanks everyone! I love getting comments they are always so good for my ego. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see her reaction but it was nice because she gave me a call on Christmas and you could still hear the surprise in her voice. I loved it! Happy New Year to you all! :o) Amy
