    Oh wow. Beautiful in their realism and ferocity of emotion and suggestion. I would like to see some images of how these works are created. There is clearly some depth of craftsmanship as well as vision, here, and I would love to know more about their physical production. Please tell.

  35. [...] Having dabbled with woodworking in college art classes, I can tell you that I particularly don’t have any patience to do something this lifelike. It’s almost like it’s got a marble look doesn’t it?  I’d love to have one in my house but I’m sure these will freak me out at night. (more on BeautifulDecay) [...]

    Nice but,
    take a look at the work of Donald Harn from Taiwan it will really blow you away. An amazing intersection concept, expression material, and virtuosity. Harn has already been carving for 30 years. Demetz is clearly a young kindred spirit.

    These are beautiful. I love the eyes. Some people teach to hollow out the eyes and I disagree. I think they should be done like yours. Great imagination and an interesting twist to sculptures.

  43. Sculptors says:

    The artist will probably make several pencil sketches and photographs from life before making a clay sketch for your approval. Once this is done the artist will continue to refine the sketch if it is of the correct dimensions, or will start afresh and scale up the model using the first clay sketch as a guide.
