Here is a shot from my new sculpture experiment. I can’t say how it’s going to turn out yet because it’s still in the dark days. What I know is I made a 3 legged chicken in Hearty White, the super lightweight modeling clay, and then only to realise I suppose to bake the super sculpey feet first, so I ended up putting the whole thing in the oven, please don’t make the same mistake like me, it’s just not good I think…

3 legged chicken in my oven, please don't do this at home :)

I’ve also started painting a new piece for the group show “Men with beards” hosted by Off the Kerb Gallery. This is going to be my first piece working on hardboard, it was unexpected easy! I think I’m going to use hardboard more often in the future.
