New Kong Sculpt In Progess

Last month I sold my original Kong bust. I took a last photo before shipping Kong off to his new home in CA.

I'm at work now creating a similar, though smaller sized bust.This one will be cast in a mold so the teeth have to be made in two sections.

The top and bottom canine, and front teeth will be cast separately from the molars.

I rigged the jaw halves together with aluminum wire so I could articulate them to approximate how Kong will be chomping down on his native victim.

I'll be updating with work in progress photos as Kong takes shape!

  3. I am the fortunate soul in CA that purchased this incredible piece. The photos don't do it justice. I have pieces by world class sculptors like Henry Alvarez and others and this piece holds its own among them.

  6. I am always fascinated (when I take a few minutes out of my schedule) to read your 'work in progress' posts. I'm not as patient when I work...so I do appreciate the works of those who are...such as yourself.
