Photographer's Comments:

I am Artist sculptor, turned professional because of ecomony, sculptor of 3-D models, somewhat new to this field.

I'm a sculptor mostly, Body art painter, photographer to get ideas saved, and builder of all thing mechanical.

As a child, art was my fav class, when I saw something i liked i tried it, till I got it.
I build so many things from elementary to college i cant find them all some of people , some of things,

I am 41 yrs. 6 ft tall 185 lbs big chested ( no, not fat, strong as an ox, lol) athletic and easy going. Maybee I should model here too lol.

This is not a just an expensive hobby turned profession, (although it is expensive), a big most, portion of my income will come from the selling and promotion of my art as art and to industry and prostedic skins to our brave wonded. The rest comes from my work as a consultant and design engineer. I joined MM in order to network with top quality people in the same industry and to find subjects for my works.


My main area of expertise and main focus is the area Life Sculpts for the wonded and for future socieity.etes in various sports fields. I have a passion and desire to capture the essence of the how to build all thing from human to mechanical.

My goal is to create pieces of ART that present the human form in a manner that enhances the beauty and the stregnth of the human body (NOT sleazy nor pornographic) .
Also, I want my work to last and help promote human quality of life.. Thinking about the pieces lasting for generations to come, the materials that we sculptors use can really last for hundreds or even thousands of years. What would it be like, If it were possible to see someone approach a piece a few hundred years from now and say, "Look, there is an perminant copy of my at my best when i was 20 something 30 something, and the model was_______!!


I currently create life sculptures, and duplicate of people and skins for restoration, also called life castings, in which impressions are made directly from the model using a quick, comfortable, and harmless process and then transformed into different materials.

I have 4 years experience in life casting and associated fields. I am currently trying new processes and new techniques to build flexable art and prostedics in the future.

Using photos I take myself and directly from a model, I make plaster and silicone copys of people for themself and gift to loved ones, or even for parts of other work like hands holding pottery art.

. Most times they are body parts, I have made one silicone face, head feet soon legs arms ect, see pics-- as shown, body areas like, arms, feet legs, backs ect. Sometimes with the right model, even a complete statue or bust of a person that will be the same beauty forever.

If the model wants they can stay the same age forever or for one of their friends to keep. They complete in every detail. I do this for fun, for promoation and for money, or on a trade basis, whatever we can work out.

I get to keep the mold, the cliet, model an silicone or plaster casting of themself the same way forever beautiful for their portfolio. Even when they are 70. Unless the commision me. lol

I am also looking for both male and females who are thin and easy to work with, say creative and can hep me make it work as hoped. If so I would love to talk with you. If selected, participation would only take a couple of hours and you will receive a "life sculpture" to keep

If you would possibly like to work with me and discuss what we do and talk about the possibilities and ideas you may have for a project please contact me.

Also...
please ask if you would like to commission me for a sculpt of yourself or a loved one.
