From Luke's blog:
On March 7th, 2012, Fully Visual and I will be releasing a new bronze sculpture of "Jack". Inspired by my painting "Jacked" and the mythological "Jackalope", this sculpture attempts to blend my character design with the classic taxidermic presentation of the Jackalope (stuffed and mounted on a plaque).
Till its release, I'll be regularly presenting images of Fully Visual's process for casting the bronze.
This photo features wax versions of the sculpture. These sculpts will be used to form the plaster molds from which the bonze will be cast. Each bonze requires its own mold and its own wax "positive".
This process is very time consuming and requires the hands of an artisan. This is why we've decided to limit this bronze to seven pieces (and it compliments the March 7th release date, which also happens to be my birthday).

only an edition of 7. I wonder how the price point will be?

After the "investments" (or molds) are formed, they are then heated in a kiln till the original wax positives are melted out. Molten metal (in this case bronze - a combination of copper and tin) is then poured into the mold and given time to cool. Once the metal has hardened, the ceramic investment is broken away to reveal the finished components to our sculpture.

The Making of "Jack" Part 4
On March 7th, 2012, Fully Visual and I will be releasing a new bronze sculpture of "Jack".

NOTE: Due to the response we've experienced for "Jack", we decided to increase the production number from 7 pieces to final total of 10.
With each sculpture, we've included a certificate of authenticity. Each certificate is personalized with a drawing of Jack. The image was first hand traced from the photo of the sculpt. I then redrew the drawing onto each of the 10 certificates and finished them with ink.
OK which one of you lucky stiffs picked one up? Please show it displayed.

"One Trick Pony (Juggling)" was inspired by my own fears and feelings that critics might consider me a "One Trick Pony" (ie. an artist whose abilities are limited to one specific thing. In my case that one thing would be my bears). The painting also features the bear juggling red spheres (or dots). The "Red Dot" is a symbol used in art galleries to announce that an artwork has been sold. To sum it up, what I'm saying is: 'Sure, I might be a one trick pony, but at least that one trick is my ability to handle these red dots'.
