Crazy owl man

The inside of a toilet roll, the discarded section of a chair leg, a paper clip, twigs and the obligatory wire and foil from a bottle of  Cava:

And for some company, the devilish CavaMan cousin, freewheeling on a ....corn of the cob.

Lucky readers -

I hope you are well.

So, the selection today......

I was tentatively heading along a Shakespearean theme with these wire figures but the Minotaur sneeked in there, hot on the heels of King Lear.

I'm trying to define the movement of the dog by its hair being blown one direction

More to follow..........

Recent Work

Just had a groovy time down at the art market, messing around with clay and kids.  Seems as though there's a burgeoning brotherhood of dinosaur enthusiasts out there judging by the finished work.

It was a little parky down there but once the people started flowing through it was all good.  Loved Suet Yi Yip's work and We Live Here.  It was all just a huge love-in x

Kind viewer, I shall now bedazzle you with my latest work - world premiere at the next Art Market (10th and 11th November).  If you're around, swing on by.  See you then x x x
