Steve Shimanek Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 That looks really cool, what else are you going to do to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I love it! Back in my Collage days I did a ton of work like that- then I started painting some with translucent colors. What fun!!!! Show more if you have it What is the material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny O Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Steve, as far as "What else..." I am done, I have a problem with not knowing when to QUIT. Fe-Wood, it is all mild steel, 1/8 " and 16 ga. Most of it was tig welded and ground. Here's a phone photo of the shell. Thanks for the comments, it helps, I will post more when they happen Thanks K.O. I have a friend who teaches welded sculpture at the community college, I assisted with teaching the welding aspects and got to use there equipment, So; no that is not my acorn table, unfortunately.

Very cool!! That must have been some good work. Now go sell it to a college for $2,500 and buy yourself a new jet-ski/plasma cutter/bandsaw/toy That's how I grew my business. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrispy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Here's another shape that I had to purge from my mind. Kenny, Great work , Keep it up. Here is a link to an Australian sculptor who does similar work. Greg's work is generally as big as a tree often larger. Maybe you will find some inspiration from his work. It's most likely copywrghted but the inspiration you get won't be. Good Luck. www.gregjohnssculpture.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck. www.gregjohnssculpture.com/ thanks for turning me on to this, I appreciate it. Mr. John does very passionate work. I did some reading about an incident of intellectual property theft. A large corporation that duplicated one of his sculptures, put it in their lobby head quarters, some one who saw his public art commission, noticed the copy when he applied for a job at the said joint. Mr john confronted the place. Won the court battle and they had to destroy it. (I can't remember where I read the article, but I think the perpetrator was Target..) Here's a story behind one of his pieces "Mulga Bill & Neighbour " a facinating man.
