While many thrive under a tight deadline, I prefer to do things early, working hard while still taking my time. I love to sculpt over a number of days, letting my subjects come to life organically as I work. Getting way out in front of a deadline is the way to do it and keep it fun (for me). Those who are observant may have noticed a recent trend in the pub sign sample pieces I am working on. The three signs are approximately the same size with a custom bracket. The signs feature animal names and the adjoining adjectives are alliterative - ‘Dichotomous Dragon’, Tottering Tortoise’ and .Rowdy Raven’. There is a good reason of course.

I hereby challenge my readers to take part in the 2022 SIGN CHALLENGE.
