CurlyGeorge Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Danger, I think you're right. It looks just like a BRD!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old N Rusty Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wicked!!! that would scare me if it suddenly appeared at my door. and scare off the Orkin man too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake pogrebinsky Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow, Danger,that is impressive cool.The head just takes the forging cake,boss.All the joints are fantastic,especially those orbital nests that they sit in. The forging marks everywhere are xxxxxxxx great, for some reason i have not realized before just how FORGED the whole deal is. But that head,man... I can easily believe that you're on to something,that you can take this stuff really far. It's a real pleasure to see something like this!

Dillon Sculpture Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, she is pretty tall, almost 10' close to 1/4 ton. Torso forged from 6" and the head is forged from a chunk of 4" square 7" long, the rivets have 2" heads. No welds, the wings, head and leg articulate. Jake, I like the nest reference, its interesting scary is a common perception, any beauty out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 its interesting scary is a common perception, any beauty out there? Beauty and awe, for sure......I assumed it would stand on a coffee table, should have known better coming from you....The fact it didn't fit the frame in the first pic should have given that away......Many of Chris Ray's pieces looked as though they were from the dark side, evoking that emotion is just as valid as doing a Unicorn (gag).....The fact his claws are covered with gay (no I don't mean that) feathery fans makes me think he's really in a great mood and would likely party till dawn and leave me be (I had the same feeling at a biker party once)........Who says we always have to make nice?......... BRD reminds me of this character from Disney's Night on bald Mountain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Beauty here Boss! This says FIRE,come dance in it with me! I see it as a dark Phoenix ,pointing to the balance between the dark, cold iron of it`s physical presence and the heat and light of it`s birth. I feel the same elemental energy and potential in this piece that I get from Larry`s (Smithy 1) forged face elements. They are primal and carry far more energy than what you can take in with a picture or quick study. The size of this piece also takes it to a different level and gives it a presence that cannot be denied. I would locate this around a corner in a city, park or gallery and then put up a camera to record the reaction of people when they first see it. I bet you`ll be surprised at how strong the reactions will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beth Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 wowzers danger!! had not realized her full size - she is so statuesque! - and CERTainly beautiful, she is graceful, she looks balanced great, shes elegant to me not scarey in the slightest (each to his own with fear ). ideas about beauty vary hugely (which keeps things interesting i guess) and convention would maybe say a NO to strong fierce confident and a bit dark for a Lady, but wheres the fun in that - and you didnt create her to be a conventional beauty i wouldnt have thought so its all good! her joints are the best for me, the hips i love and the knees!! loving the marks. and the head is surely what makes her an individual - i think she is a complete one off - and you have a language all of your own boy! And it aint Abstract :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkrankow Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks a whole lot less menacing with someone else in the frame. I did get he dancing grace from all the pictures, but not the scale. Some of your photo angles alter the appearance. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
