Crusader Mech
After I made my Colossus of Saladin-I made this guy to counter him. Both came out better than expected.

My very first steampunk robot. I made this and filled it with firecrackers....which didnt light. So after cutting those out he was displayed right next to my Gundam figures.

Here is my Colossus of Saladin. I am a huge fan of steampunk and of ancient armor.

Beetle mask that came out way better than I thought. And the photo that my wife took is fantastic (IMHO). 120lb archival paper, PVA glue and acrylic paints.

Started using modeling clay and was heavily inspired with God of War. I have many sketches for more like these.

This is what I made for the centerpiece for my daughter's wedding. The panel with the cat is specific to them. They are gamers (d20) love their cat and the lighthouse is a family joke that makes her groan every time I bring it up -had to include that in the wedding. The 3rd panel is just filler.

I was very fortunate to give a demonstration at Hasbro back in the day. Every year artists from across the US are invited to their HQ and show their art. I brought my masks and this guy-with templates so that they can take it home. I do have a version 2 in the works for this one.

Here was a commission from Adobe when they put layers in photoshop. The mask was made out of photoshop boxes that they supplied.

Here is my Angelic Host mask. This one took a ton of time cutting out all those eyeballs-but in the end it was worth it. Thinking of doing a version 2 of this.....maybe.
