Description
This is an oldie, but a goodie. I carved this in 1989. I sold it at a Science Fiction Convention for a ridiculously small ammount. I still love it, and probably always will.Cartoon: Nancy Janda drew the Phoenix, which was used with her permission. I drew the flame circle around him.
Plate: Walnut Hollow Farms.
Finish: Colored tung oil.
Date: 1989

At first glance, I actually thought this was the gold coins the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers used during the Ninja Rangers arc. O_O Nicely done!

'89 eh? That thing is as old as I am! I'm still a whippersnapper it seems. But this is some very nice work. I wish I could get this level of detail.

This reminds me of the painted medal medallions on Michelangelo's fresco on the Sistine Chapel!

This is magnificent! is it actually walnut wood or was that just where you got it from? I've heard of Walnut Hollow Farms I believe...

I wish I had a knack for this kind of thing. How long did it take?

i think the phoenix is my favorite mythical creature, if i ever had to tell someone what my favorite mythical creature was. i just love the idea that something new and greater can be born out of adversity and struggle. very lovely depiction here. your work amazes me.

I don't mind at all, I'm tickled. Just do me a favor, and any time you actually write about any of my carvings which are collaborations, make sure you give my friends credit, too. I carved the image, and drew all the flames, but Nancy Janda drew the phoenix.
Thanks!

I adore the myth of the phoenix and this truly makes it come alive (: I can tell you worked very meticulously-- look at the details!

The phoenix is one of my favorites. I am glad you like him. I have done others, I should post them for you. But I never get around to photographing them until they sell, so everything is old. I feel weird only posting old stuff. And I never finish new stuff until just before a show. Catch 22.
I'll post more anyway.
