Spelunking

Spelunking, joined view, by Amy Crook
Continuing the series of little bronze people, these two are taking a fairly standard position but using an alternate entry point. If I recall correctly, this is the figure that had a problem with the orifice in question closing up during casting. The shop tech was highly amused to watch me clamp her in a vice and drill her open with the big metal drill press. As a result the fit between them isn’t quite as close as some of the others, but it still works for them.

I’ve often considered continuing the series exploring other sexual paradigms, but the foundry I was using at the time has since closed. Perhaps one of these days my muse will demand I find a new way to create them. For now, there’s still one more couple and at least one more single figure to be posted before the series is done, and possibly more of the singles if I can dig up some good photos of the ones that were sold.

Weeble Wednesday: Isidore
Posted on August 4th, 2010
Weeble Isidore by Amy Crook
Yet another of my buddies, Isidore is wearing her Hufflepuff colors in her weeble. I went for an argyle sweater and saddle shoes to spiff up her simple jeans, and of course had to add in a book on one of her favorite subjects, the British royal family.
If you’re enjoying these weebles, remember that you, too, can be a cartoon for just $79.

Patterns and Symbols

Patterns and Symbols by Amy Crook
These three tiny etching plates were hand inked and arranged to go through the printing press together, creating a one-of-a-kind print. Each etching plate is only an inch or an inch and a half square, the images floating in the center of the white page.
The top plate was painstakingly inked so that each aquatinted curl of “smoke” got its own colour, and then the two subsequent plates — both etchings with added aquatint — were inked with the same colors to complement the first. Together the three separate decorative motifs give a different meaning and presentation than any one piece would singly.
Patterns and Symbols, 8″x12″ etching on watercolor paper, $299 with free shipping.

Snape by Amy Crook
To go with yesterday’s botched Potions lesson, here’s a very stylized drawing of Professor Snape to go with it. The lightning bolt is from a very silly little Harry Potter stamp kit, and the rest is pen and ink.

Potions Accident by Amy Crook
By now I’m sure it’s obvious I’m a big fan of the Harry Potter books, so I thought I’d post another little drawing I did. The cheap paper made the Copic markers bleed a little more than usual, but I like the effect in the eerie magic flame under Harry’s cauldron.

Submission

Submission, front view, by Amy Crook
This is another of my small bronze figures, and in her pose she’s small enough to fit heavily into one hand. The texture of her hair was created by painstakingly building up wax layer after layer in drips and drizzles, shielding her face from view while leaving the long line of her back bare. She kneels in a submissive pose with her hands held behind her, unbound.
Her patina has darkened with age and handling from a nutty brown to a deep mahogany, and her matte finish tends to swallow the light, adding an air of mystery.
Submission, approx. 3″w x 3″d x 4″h, not for sale.
