Final Photos - Treasury Unfinished, Framework 3

A grand, Beaux-Arts building inspired by several real-world structures. Inspirations include the David Dinkins Municipal Building, the City Investing Building and Michigan Central station.

Sand green is an incredibly difficult color to work in, with very limited variety. The limited palette created the need for a very complex interior for the lower tier of the building, with several inversions and advanced support layers to allow for what appears to be a simple exterior.

"Alone" on display in the Poughkeepsie Open Studios group show.

Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend to visit my studio, chat, and learn about what I do!

Everyone loves a sequel, especially when it's smaller and adorable.

I've been struggling to create a token to bring to conventions that would be easily identified as me, but I think this one does it. Coming to a con near you, probably.

A close up of my Plague Doctor piece "To Rest". The arms still need some refinement. They are incredibly finicky to position.

Final Photos - Cathedral Unfinished, Framework 1

The in person unveiling of this piece at in Rochester this past weekend came with some unforgettable reactions and incredibly kind words. That feedback helps motivate me tremendously to push and complete this collection.

More soon.

It's worth it to rip open that old set for that one specific part you need to build your masterpiece.

"Cathedral Unfinished" is complete. Thank you to everyone who watched the build unfold in my stories over the last few weeks. If you want to see some of the techniques that went into the build, let me know in the comments.

More soon.

"Clocktower Unfinished"

The second entry in my Framework collection. A blend of architectural styles in monochrome Dark Tan. The more I work in monochrome, the more I am forced to use very odd parts to accomplish simple shapes. There are no gears, very few arches and limited SNOT options between brackets and bricks. It presents an exciting challenge.

The entryway and clock face were massively challenging, and required using the massively expensive Dark Tan plume to represent the hour hand on the clock.

Another huge thanks to my friend for his render work. The rare parts required makes sourcing the parts for each entry in Framework incredibly difficult. Being able to present quality renders before I can build the models makes all the difference.

Framework entry 3 is in the works, but will be a while before it is presented. There are commissions that need to get wrapped up first. You're more than welcome to guess at what the next building will be.

More soon

"To Rest"

The result of my sandbox day in studio yesterday. I gave myself the day to work on anything that came to mind, as long as I completed it by the end of the day.

This is very different than my usual work and I find human(oid) figures incredibly challenging. Much respect to those who do this on the regular.
