SCULPTURE: "Tribute to Ray"


I just finished a little Fan-Art tribute to the Master of "stop motion animation" and Fantasy films...Ray Harryhausen. I'm old enough to remember seeing Ray's movies when they first released in theaters on the "big screen". I decided to sculpt the "Ymir" from "20 Million Miles to Earth" and "Cyclops" from "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". And, what the heck...why not make this into a winner-takes-all "Bobble-head Battle"!!!

Thought I'd add these posters from the original films for the "newbies" to Ray Harryhausen's work.

SCULPTURE: "Bird Feeder Bot"

I finally finished a project that I've been working on for 4 weeks. Meet my new "Bird Feeder Bot"! I don't weld, so I built this guy out of wood, and chose to cover it with "Bondo" to help it endure the various types of weather we have in Kansas City. I also chose to make the robot all rusty and worn-looking. Half of the fun for me is during the painting stages. I used two pieces of rebar to secure the feet to a large, heavy planter pot filled with dirt. I might plant some flowers in there in the Spring. We'll see if the birds like it!
