I'm here... sort of

Thu Oct 8, 2009, 10:47 PM
okay, so I've moved in to my new home. My first house of my own... well my wife owns it too, but you know what I mean. Anyway, before I so rudely interrupted myself, I've moved in now. the studio still isn't finished, so not much going on there. mostly just trying to get all the things done that come with buying an older home. it seems it was vacant for about a year when we bought it so have been trimming trees and bushes and such.
Well enough about that. for those of you who have been keeping up with me, if any of you exist, thank you, sorry I haven't been keeping up with uploading images. on several occasions I've said, "I'll be uploading more/some pics soon" or something like that, and now months later, nothing. I'll just have to take the time some night and do it.

take care.

and now, a word from our sponsor (me).

Welcome one and welcome all. Greetings and salutations. In these pages you will find a sampling of my work, I won't say all of my work simply because I'm constantly making new pieces so will never truly have all my work up... but I digress. I am a professional artist, so all the work I make, if not commissioned, is for sale. In fact many of the pieces here have sold already.

To break things down for you as far as the sculptures go: The dragons, are one of a kind. The shrouded pieces are... well they're different, the process for making them makes them one of a kind pieces of art in that they all have subtle differences in the draping and positioning of the parts. At the same time, they can be reproduced, well the small ones I can make 8 to 10 of them, the medium to large pieces are limited to 5 or 6, but the large, more detailed ones are one of a kind. I tell you this so you may better understand the value of the work presented, and a piece, once sold at a price will never be sold for less ensuring the investment any of my collectors make in purchasing my art.

I'm working to get more art up here. I'm in the midst of a pieces that will be taking me a long time to complete, partially for the immense details of it, and partially do to the dwindling state of my materials combined with the low state of my bank account. You may have noticed the mention of commission work earlier, that's right, I do accept commissions and request 50% up front. there are two reasons for this, one being, I need to be sure of your sincerity, the other is the need to pick up supplies to make it with. How you pay off the remainder is up to you as long as it is received at time of delivery. I am human, as are you, consequently things can be negotiated to fit the needs of everyone concerned.

I look forward to doing business with you, and if not, I'm glad to have been able to share some of my beloved artwork with you.

Sincerely,

Travis Rice
owner/operator and artist for Dragon Sculptor Studios [link]

How could a light that burns so brightly suddenly burn so pale?

It is possible, I keep intending to, but I keep forgetting to take progress pics
seems when I get going on a piece I kinda forget about everything else
