New Gnomon Workshop Dvd

I did another Gnomon Workshop dvd last year (2012), this time sculpting a full figured male orangutan.   I think primate anatomy is a good starting point for anyone who wants to design monsters, so I hope people will find this useful.

The dvd was released just this week.  If you're interested in a dvd where an ape sculpture gets fleshed out in clay, from wire armature to finished sculpt, please check out this link to the Gnomon website:

Woodwose

Here is the woodwose, half man, half hipster.    It has its roots in European lore, and is often seen on coats of arms.   Some say the figure of the woodwose symbolizes man's interconnectedness with nature, like the Green Man.   I say it symbolizes that  it's about time you got a haircut and had a shower.    And put some shoes on, for God's sake!
