My Bio
I'm attempting to learn to sculpt after having been away from actively pursuing art for far too long. I've been hacking away at it learning on my own for a couple of years. I'm a freelance photographer in Texas specializing mostly in sports action and concert photography, as well as doing other stuff I don't really like much in order to scrape up some sort of living. But this page is all about trying to get back to the art world. In my younger days I had a passion for drawing, and seemed to have some talent. But when I became an adult art didn't seem like a career option. I went to college and studied journalism while my artistic pursuits gradually faded as they were replaced by real world anxiety. Now I wish I had never left it behind. I have a lot of catching up to do.
Hey, I'm still here! Not that anyone is watching...but anyway. I finally got my first hunk of sculpting wax to try out, a hunk of so-called victory brown which I hear isn't really, but kinda sorta. Got another batch of a similar but different wax coming to compare. I don't know how it's going to work out. I only know that I get really frustrated with polyclay when it comes to fine details, especially on small scale faces. I have two clay figures in progress I've been working on, both sports figures around 15 inches tall. Not ready to reveal anything, but they're coming along pretty well. I just don't work on them enough. I got a chunk, then

I haven't been around much in recent months. I've been so disappointed in yet another stalled sculpture project I'm just totally frustrated and depressed about art right now. I hit a snag and get stuck in a rut and never seem to be able to work out of it. At this rate I'm never going to get a whole lot accomplished. I have to find a way to break through this slump and start attempting to create something again.

Just a quick hello to anyone who happens by. I signed up here a couple of months ago, but just uploaded some stuff for the first time last night. I haven't been a frequent viewer, so I'm not even sure how all this works. I'm just feeling my way around in here. If I break any etiquette or protocol please let this noob know and I'll try to get myself learned as fast as my feeble, crusty, atrophied brain can manage.
