The Cellar God





Finally a new post! This was the last sculpture I finished, sometime at the end of last year, finally ready to show it. It is the Cellar God, a member of a pantheon of a billion gods that live in hearths, wells, bathhouses, kitchens, sheds, etc. He rides an alchemical crab and listens to old jazz music.

    Super cool piece David!
    Did you use a real crab for the bottom half?
    Looks fantastic!
