As a break before posting my next character biography, I thought I’d discuss my statue art today. Recently I did a two piece commission of Colossus and Juggernaut. The really cool thing about doing such work is knowing someone wants the piece when I’m working on it. I have a “list” of sorts that I made up of which pieces I should create before exhibiting at a show. The X-Men are on that list because 1) I love the characters and 2) they are popular and therefore generate interest and sales. I’ve done the original X-Men and my current goal is to make the original X-Men in their second generation uniforms. I’ll probably continue chronologically. Unless I get an out-of-order request. Making a Colossus statue was great partially because the character, especially in the original Cockrum uniform, is just awesome, but also because he wouldn’t have been on my table for a while otherwise. Commissions and suggestions allow me to create pieces I would not have thought of making by myself. In addition to stretching my creative abilities, such input has allowed me to focus on work that others want to see as much as I do.
Oh, and Juggernaut is just too cool also!
