Freelance Sculpting :: Barack Obama Inauguration Sculpture

A week prior to the inauguration in January 2009, I was commissioned by Arkahdia Arts to create a portrait bust of President-Elect Obama seen from various angles below.

Freelance Sculpting :: Buddha Sculpture

The following photos show a larger than life size clay Buddha that I was hired to repair and finish for Arkahdia Arts in Glendale, CA. The picture to the left in each pair shows the work of a previous sculptor and the picture to the right reflects the modifications I completed to get the piece ready for casting.

Freelance Sculpting :: Football Desk Pedestal

In 2008, Arkahdia Arts again contacted me to salvage a project that was in need of some help. The client wanted a life size football player in an actual pose with authentic clothing and equipment as shown in the Picture #1. Upon approval of the sculpture, the piece would be cast and two replicas created in plaster to serve as the pedestal supports for a glass tabletop.

Photos #2 and #4 represent where the project was at when I was called, and #3, #5 and #6 what I was able to accomplish on a limited budget and short time frame.
