We Have A Tiger In The Studio- In Pieces

This morning, after we cleaned out some space to receive the sculpture, we awaited for  Acts International Crating . The guys were troopers, they helped us take the crates apart and unload the many puzzle pieces. This weekend we begin to assemble the bases and the bottom portion of the sculpture. I’m thankful the head is not on the body, as I will begin to put some details in the head this weekend. That will be much easier as it sits on the table than if it were up in the air.

The two crates are unloaded with the lift gate
Is that a tiger peaking out? 
I was curious, how does this compare to the Prairie View A & M
Panther.  Well you can see the clay head that I saved it is on top
of the filing cabinet on the left.  The Grambling tiger is on the
right and overpowers that panther.  
An artist in the mouth of a tiger.  So much work to do here, but
these milled armatures sure do help. They give me a good base.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this head.  That is my weekend
goal.  Sculpting a tiger head.  Funny, if you took a picture of me
while I am doing it I am sure you will find that I snarl as I work.
