BOB name plaque
Bob’s name plaque was the first out of the gate. I started with a quick hand drawing to work out the basics. The first task in EnRoute was to work out the vectors. I started with a flat relief
Scribbling down ideas
With the next Sculpture Magic Workshop now less than two and a half months away it is time to begin preparations. We start with the name plaques as they make great filler projects.

We had to submit photos and a video to support the nomination and here’s the video. It shows the park at it’s best.

Going all out from the start!
It isn’t often we underwhelm a customer but once in a blue moon I submit a design that doesn’t achieve what our customer is looking for. A recent project is a good example.
