Foundry Man Report post Posted March 15, 2007 I thought that you all might like to see this. Last night I did a bronze pour at the foundry. This is me (on the left) I was pouring my latest bronze sculpture. Anyway, this is somthing you don't see every day. I will be finished with the peice in a few weeks. It is a bust of a (GULP) , m m ma m mule d dd d deer. Well, I guess you can see where "foundry man" came from...... The only thing that compares to hot bronze, is a hot gut pile! >>Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foundry Man Report post Posted March 15, 2007 Younghunter, thanks man. Well, my dream in life would be to sculpt for my living. I am just now getting to point where I feel comfortable showing my work to people (other than my mom ). Alot of hunters out there enjoy wildlife art. Maybe it would be cool for me to do a "coues" peice, and post pictures as I progress along the process. Members of this board could give me constructive critisim, and maybe I could end up with a sweet sculpture. I would be very open to doing a peice for the buck contest too. The foundry is in Silver City, New Mexico at Western NM University. I am a fine art major. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COOSEFAN Report post Posted March 16, 2007 Awesome pics.....I would love to see the whole process from start to finish....I know there is alot more to it than poeple think! I used to have a huge desire to learn how to do bronzes, but there were no classes offered when I was in college....at least for the short time I attempted college I stuck with the art stuff and lost interest because of how "computerized" most art stuff had become back then and the lack of "hands-on" skill involved. At least the computers haven't taken over sculpting.......yet! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhuntnut Report post Posted March 16, 2007 Whats the deal with the whimpy jackets? I need one of those to work on windshields this summer. Make sure you show us some finished pics. I love those bronzes, but they are so expensive. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brush Buster Report post Posted March 17, 2007 Let me just say this man is a true artist, I have personally seen his work and can asure you that it is awesome! Keep pooring that hot liquid F.M. and you will be living that dream beofre you know it. Every hunter needs some wildlife art around the house or trophy room to blend in with the taxidermy.
