The Virgin Mary.

I've had this one around for a while,  still working on it.



Also, here is a few shots of my Blessed Virgin Mary sculpture while it was still clay.

A few sketches of Christ.

I visited the NC Museum of Art the other day, everytime I look at this sculpture I see a crucifixion.  Honestly, the sculpture I based it on kind of rubs me the wrong way, but the body is well done.  I drew this from it while I was there, I will add the head and hands of Christ later.


This is a sketch I made of Christ embracing his cross, I may add soldiers taking his clothes.

St. Ignatius of Antioch - sculpture in progress.

"I am the wheat of God, and let me be ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of Christ. Rather entice the wild beasts, that they may become my tomb, and may leave nothing of my body; so that when I have fallen asleep, I may be no trouble to any one. Then shall I truly be a disciple of Christ,..." - Saint Ignatius of Antioch (Epistle to the Romans)
