New Artwork (and an etsy.com shop) September 17, 2011

I’ve been really busy working on a few different projects for temples and shops, but now, it’s time to take a break and work on something I’m passionate about… CATS!

As you may have read, my wife and I have quite a few cats (I think we’re up to 20 now?) and several dogs (8) along with some other pets (sugar gliders, guinea pigs, etc). I spend a lot of time with them… creating play areas and super fun cages for them and I have recently been inspired to paint and draw animals again.

It’s a nice change from big, heavy sculptures. ;)

Check out my Etsy Shop to see some of the recent work I’ve done and check back often as I’m trying to do at least one painting or drawing a day for a year. (wowza! I know!)

here’s the first:

Phra Ya Yommarach part 2 July 27, 2010

I did NOT paint these, I sculpted the original. They were painted according to the client’s specs.

 

Ganesh Sculpture for Khao Pansa July 25, 2010

I’ve been super busy working on some recycled / reused crafts with my wife.  We’re trying to make a little money for a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam next month, so we started an etsy store called Chok Dee. (that means “good luck” in Thai)

I have also been working on some smaller projects for a variety of different shops and people.  here’s some pictures of a Ganesh sculpture I did for a man in Korat.  He had it done in bronze and it donating it to a temple in Korat for Khao Pansa (the start of Buddhist Lent).  I will post pictures of the finished bronze piece as soon as possible, but in the meantime, here’s the oil clay / wax:

This was an order I did that ended up selling really really well for the company that ordered it.  It is still in production 3 years later and still selling well.

Ganesh Sculpture (Ganesha Sculpture) February 25, 2010

People say they like the Ganesh warrior I did.  So here are some more pictures.  This one is at a plant shop in Nong Bun Mak (Thailand).

I feel, in many ways, that Ganesh is like my Father because I am an artist.  I was very happy to make this sculpture as a tribute to him.

here are some more details:
