An Update-ette

So I was flicking through the "Official" Doctor Who Tumblr page, on Tumblr of all places, and was suddenly surprised to see a picture featuring my sculpted submission I submitted to be displayed at the San Diego Comic Con (In San Diego of all places) a month or so ago.

(Above: The display on an enormous screen. Mine's on the right. The one with my name)

By now I had half forgotten about it and half imagined I would never actually see it being displayed, so this rather took me back. 

Thanks for reading, more to come....

I owe you an Update.

So! I've been away for a while and neglected this blog, which isn't nice by any stretch of the imagination.
In recent news I've had a couple pictures of a sculpture I made chosen to be shown at the San Diego Comic Con, which is rather exciting.
Alas I haven't been offered free tickets to fly over and see it but thats life unfortunately.
The pictures in question were a couple of a caricaturial sculpture of Peter Capaldi as the soon-to-be 12th Doctor Who. These will be shown on a screen displaying other fan artwork at the Doctor Who booth at the convention with footfall of a couple hundred people at least.
A nice thing indeed.

I've also been getting back into sculpting in a big way, keeping my hand in as it were.

Here are a few examples of what I've done over the recent months...

And now a couple things on the boil.

I was also recently in Italy for a couple weeks and spent a fair bit of that time drawing and focusing on expressions and caricature drawing.

Not entirely sure why, but it has been an area I've always been fascinated by.

Here is a spattering of some of the drawings.

Anyway thats just about it for this update, I should have more interesting stuff to talk about in the coming weeks with several projects soon to be entering early pre-production.

Thanks for watching, more to come....
