“Old Man Carving,” Daniel D. Brown, 2006
I found this little chip of wood and decided it needed a face. It’s only about 3-4 inches tall.

I have a huge collection of fossils, shells, rocks, and other natural artifacts. I also had an old shitty table with particleboard insets. I decided to cut those out, build a shadow box, , a drawer, new legs, and get a custom-cut glass top (extra thick so my pets can jump on it without fear of breaking).
It’s not exactly well built or anything. But I’m pretty pleased with it for someone who hasn’t a clue what he’s doing.
Here was the process:
In this project we were instructed to sculpt the evolution of one thing to another in five steps. A brain to a computer seemed like a good idea at the time. Yes, those are what desktop computers looked like back then.
In this college project, we had to sculpt two things you wouldn’t expect to see together.
Okay, I know this is very weird. It was a looong time ago and I was taking a LOT of biology courses at Hendrix back then. And we were instructed to sculpt what we see in the clay. I saw biology…
We first had to sculpt a mini version (6 in tall) that became the template for the large (2 ft tall) version.
