October 7, 201312 yr Hi all , here is a "goanna" . It is a Monitor type lizard found in Australia . can grow 8 feet long
October 7, 201312 yr Gonna thicken it up or something, the few goanna's I've seen have all been more solid especially the neck.Othrwise it looks great.
October 7, 201312 yr I think it looks great. It's not suppose to be an exact replica, but an artist representation.
October 8, 201312 yr andrew, nice to see you back out here again. lizard looks pretty cool. thanks seldom
October 8, 201312 yr Some Aussie friends told us that you didn't want to be near a startled goanna, as they like to climb the nearest object-which could be you, and their claws are very sharp. Nice job as always. In like your design style.
October 8, 201312 yr Author Thank you Aden, So Cal , Seldom, Winddancer and Big Gun Doc. I am entering 4 pieces in a show( more pics soon) and with this one I was going to try to enter the "Contemporary "section (If only I knew wot that meant!)yes i agree with your comment about the neck however with this sculpture I have tried to be more abstract and "contemporary" so left it more open and more bits missing . The main components are the pin lock square cut teeth off a dozen ploughs (plows) . These were used to lock the implement at a certain height. I ran out of them! Big Guns yes I these lizards have claws that would shame an eagle -lethal. I nearly lost a jack russel dog from blood loss after getting deeply hooked on a claw of a injured goanna here is a kangaroo I am also entering.......................... cheers and beers .
October 8, 201312 yr I like both pieces, being from the other side of the planet I don't know either, they're both only pictures here. It's not like a moose or brown bear, THOSE are real! They'll make a good impression in a show. You done good. Frosty The Lucky.
October 9, 201312 yr Author Both are great. Seems like I've seen your stuff, elsewhere, on the net? Yes Poppaclutch .... I am guilty of self promotion on the net . I guess Im trying to make a full time career of a (so far ) profitable hobby . we all gotta eat ! . cheers mate. Thanks Diver Mike and Frosty, Yes...... our wildlife is not as savage as in Alaska but they do tend to have a bit of a chew on you after you have rotted a bit after dying from the poison they administered while you slept.!
October 25, 201312 yr Good to see some more of your work. I really enjoyed your "horse" project. It carried me along so well that I felt that part of the story belonged to me.Carry on
