Thank you so much! You're right, so many people don't realize how much easier it is to work on a larger scale. I feel like I'm going to go cross-eyed and my neck and shoulders cramp up, when I work really small.
Thanks again!
Take care

thanks for the compliment! We were just at our friends place last week and it's fun to see it above her tub. We were originally going to do it in bronze but she didn't want the earthquakes to knock it off the wall in to the tub...might be painful....
thanks again,
Take care,

Ha! Yeah, death by four tonne bronze wall adournment isn't everyone's idea of a quiet night relaxing in the tub. Although, it'd make a great photo!

Thanks!
My friend Su gave me a few tiles to work with for color samples. A lot of the colors come out of this custom crushed glass counter top that was amazing...thanks again...

Thanks Mark!...
This piece is why Su Ranft, Sopie, Jerome and Adie are friends...
Kinda makes it extra meaningful for us.
I am going to keep trying to come up with all sorts of relief stuff...it's a lot easier to sell sometimes as well...super easy to mold myself as well.
later my friend

thanks! Yeah, when Su (the owner of the original) decided on one bird I was a little bummed because I wanted to sculpt a few more characters, and then realized that she made the best choice. It's simpler, and says all it needs to say. Like I said, the bathroom it's in is so cool.

Thanks!
Her husband was the late Joe Ranft. Voice of Heimlich the caterpillar in Pixar's A Bugs Life and Jacques the shrimp in Finding Nemo. He was head of storyboard at Pixar as well...
Thier house is beautiful...
His younger brother Jerome is a good friend and one of the lead design sculptors at Pixar. Between Jerome and Mark Newman (my mentors) I've got some amazing guidance.
check out Mark Newman's work if you haven't had a chance yet...he's amazing and puts me to shame. in a good way though...keeps me pushing to improve.
