Leah Santa Lucia

 Well it's been a dog's age since I posted anything new so here's
a quick 20 minute figure drawing I did today of art model Leah Santa Lucia.
She's one of the best models in the Bay Area, talented and mysterious.

  I've had quite a large number of views from Russia lately.
 I have no idea what to make of that...

Muscle Beach Venice Hall of Fame

 I designed and sculpted the first Muscle Beach Venice Hall of Fame plaque in 2006.
I’ve been making a few of these bronze plaques every year since then.
They honor bodybuilders that have set historic standards and advanced the sport of health & fitness.
  Sculpting and casting these things is time consuming and labor intensive.
 Once I finish them with a final patina they look pretty darn good.
 After a season of sand, sea, salt air, dogs, tourists, and  beach denizens, they don’t look nearly as good.
 I’ve been trying to get the city Department of Parks & Recreation to stay on top of the upkeep but so far no one is listening.
 Here's a few I just finished.
Anyway, they should look good for the summer season.
