No Jimmy Buffet is not in town...sorry Parrotheads - lol! I thought I would show you the latest fishies I have added to my collection, just in time for my area's largest festival. These are all my own original designs, some using clipart as a beginning point.
The first one is 'Liquid Barb Wire' (shown in WIP), a series of Stingrays created from MDF using additive/subtractive method - three layers of 3/4" stock and then sanded. Each Stingray measures roughly 9" x 14", with overall sculpture 37" x 17", 7" Deep. Stingrays were mounted to a base using dowel pins. Included photos of several different views.
Next is a Sailfish. This was done similar to the Stingrays, however instead of spray paint I added dots - imagine that - lol! Dimensions 29" x 23", 3" Deep
Another finished piece is a Queen Triggerfish. This was created from 3/4" MDF once again. I cut the first layer using the outline. I included heavy fret lines in the fins. Second layer was for the head/body, in which I included fretwork around the eyes and painted the 'inside walls' with bright colors. Added a fin, lips and some detail lines in the tail and sanded it all. Used a splatter spray paint technique to add the color. Dimensions 26" x 14", 2-1/2" Deep
Last piece is 'Green with Envy'. Once again using 3/4" MDF and painted with 5,689 dots...just kidding...I have no clue how many blessed dots are on this beast. Took almost three full days of dotting! Dimensions 32" x 24"
Thanx for letting me share and any comments and/or suggestions are welcomed.
