  • You have morphed by a hobbyist to an artist. Can't say I "like" the piece, but liking or not liking isn't the point, is it? It's a provocative piece, causing one to ponder about its message.

  • Beautiful artwork. The piece is inspiring being themed around struggle and salvation. In the painting the characters appear to be wearing clothes, which is an excellent suggestion as that will complete the piece. Also, it will allow another element to be incorporated such as motion.

  • I really love this piece. The way you mounted it horizontally, gives one the feeling of an ongoing struggle. Years ago I went down the rabbit hole of child trafficking. The more I discovered the more sickened I became. What you find isn’t something you could ever be prepared for. It was then I became aware of O.U.R, we’ve been donating monthly ever since. What is happening right now.. is a battle between good and evil on a scale I’ve not seen in my lifetime. Children are being targeted in many horrific ways. Not only by those that want to profit from them but, by well intentioned people who believe they’re ‘helping.’ When I look at your sculpture, I see the unknown fate of humanity, while also believing that the light will prevail.

  • This beautiful piece that you have created resonates with a post I had Made to BI Phakathi's you tube channel. He is a Christian man in South Africa who helps all people who are in dire straits for food and essentials for life. Like I told him, it truly breaks my heart that there is no love left in the world for our fellow human beings. When I came up in the 40's and 50's people cared about each other, your neighbors cooked meals for the family if the Mom had to be hospitalized, or sat with the kids till Dad got home. We all need to stop the bigotry that is rife in this world towards each other. What a person's skin color, religious beliefs, or political views, SHOULD NOT MATTER. We all have the responsibility to try and be better human beings, love each other, have compassion, and respect. We need love back in the equation. Today's world is all about me, me, me, and the heck with the rest. People are in for a very RUDE AWAKENING in the future and I hope they get their act together before it is TOO LATE. God bless, Happy Memorial Day and I thank those who gave it all to protect the country we live in today. Thanks for another fabulous piece of art to admire.

I am a fairly new subscriber and I think I have watched three quarters of your videos and I am in love with them all. I used to turn wood and resin but alas Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis have taken hold of my body from head to toe so no more turning for me. I watch intensely, every one of your videos. Well done and keep up the good work ❤.

  • A little suggestion if you go to do an alginate cast in a tube like this again. If you put a tiny hole in the bottom or if you can wiggle your air compressor nozzle in between the alginate in the tube and blow air in there, it will reduce the pressure and should allow you to get the sleeve out much easier. 😊

  • this creation is stunning i must say .. and i have seen some resin videos where they take this sheets of resin that isnt quite set up and then drap it over a vase or another bowl or something to allow to droop down over it and then harden .. it also causes really neat effects in the resin .. thought you might want to know another option in case you do something like that in the future and it is using much much less resin .. so less waste( like you ask for)

  • Это не просто красиво, это намного выше. В нём заключён смысл, а это я вам скажу, не в каждом предмете имеется. Я его вижу как борьбу, каждодневную борьбу, борьбу противоречий, борьбу с самим собой с своими страхами, сомнениями, борьбу во всём мире из-за чего-либо, постоянную борьбу, где чёрное всегда хочет утащить светлое на дно, а светлое всегда хочет показать темноте что в мире есть и яркие моменты просто посмотри. Скажу так, это произведение искусства заслуживает быть не просто в чьих-то руках, а стоять где-нибудь в залах высшего искусства, где ей можно не только любоваться, но немного задуматься смотря на то что она передаёт.
