"Giant Fisherman"






Or "Oni".

I recently finished this one. It's roughly two foot tall, and nearly killed its creator in the making.

I'm glad this thing is done.

    Both new pieces are GORGEOUS -- your time off work was well spent!

    Is there any way you might be able to show process shots on a future piece? It would be really interesting to see some sort of step-by-step on your works-in-progress...

    Stunning, incredibly inspiring work. The amount of story telling in each sculpt is making my brain melt. Great job!

    I really like the idea and the whale.
    Your giant also have a very interesting amphibian face!
    Nice job!!!
    Please, could you ask to your photographer to take some picture of his back. Too often there is no pictures of the back of your sculpts.
