An artist in the making!

Here's a quick blurb I thought I would share... As far back as I can remember, I've always been drawing in one form or another, but never held on to anything. Well today, upon my return he from work, my son presented me with a little gift he made for me during his day. As you can see he is turning into quite the little artist himself! His words to me were: "um papa, I drew the Silver Surfer, Iron Man, and Spiderman for you. I suggest that you put it in a frame and hang it up". You betcha! Yes I will. In fact I will make sure of it and also make sure that he will have these great creations and memories for as long as possible! Oh and by the way, if anyone is interested... Prints to help support his college fund are available for a mere $10.00. A real steal and great investment from a great future artist!

Snitches get stiches

A little job dropped in our lap and so we jumped to the occasion. This 30" tall 3D foam sculpted duck tool all of one Sunday afternoon to put together. I'm not really sure how it will be used other than for an advertising piece. We love getting these last minute sculpts as they really keep us on our toes, so if anyone would like to challenge us and our quick abilities, bring it baby!

When you love what you do

They say time flies when you're having fun. Well we must be having fun because I just turned around and realized it's midnight. Time to call it quits for the day :(. The shop has been going gangbusters these past 3 weeks with little rest. The good part is that our yearly IAAPA trade show booth is really coming along. The bad part? Well, there really isn't a bad part. Exept for the fact that there isn't enough time in the day. Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Or should I say later today? Check out a teaser photo of what we are working on for our show.

It's been a busy summer so far

A great big sorry goes out to all of our followers, as we have not been doing a good job keeping our blog updated as it should be. However, we do have a good reason for it and that is that we have been extreamly busy here at the shop. Some recent cool projects this summer so far include: Two 18 hole black light miniature gild courses in Germany, a 10' tall sculpture of Michael Jackson, a life sized foam sculpture of Jerry Lee Lewis, a 16' tall Christmas Tree with equally scaled, over sized Teddy bear and train, Giant Wizard of Oz Ruby Red slippers and yes.... Even a large set of tennis balls!

For now, most of these new projects can be seen on our newly designed web page: http://www.custom-creations.com (another project that took us away from posting here).

I hope you are all enjoying your summer and look forward to posting our current projects soon!

Giovanni.

Sculptor Secrets! "shapes & sizes"

My little cousin Vincenzo stops by for a job interview. He was hired on the spot.
But if this video is being viewed by some government labor official ... NO he was not. I'm kidding. On the part about hiring him, not the part of his stopping by. or am I ? After all, this is Sculptor Secrets.

Sculptor Secrets (short term memory)

Sometimes we go on supply runs with so many things to buy that you tend to forget something, like where we parked the van or where I left my glasses. or simply....... wait, what was I talking about ???

Sculptor Secrets! (home work)
