Hi Glenn, This one is very interesting .... looks like you included everything including the kitchen sink! One of my abstracts is made almost entirely of toilets! Cheers, David

Hi David ...Yep ..Most of my works in here are just a program learning tool and device, and something to practice on...That last piece posted started out with a relief sculpture done on a flat 3D plane primitive tool, and sort of evolved with my other 3d figure tools that I was working on at the time being thrown into the mix....The same learning system that you are doing now with your abstracts...It's a great learning system ...me thinks I'm just using some of my older works now to study some lighting effects...Funny how much the lighting can affect the mood that a piece projects..Always amazes me,and still fascinates me..You being a photographer for all of those years, and after seeing your photo's,.... well i'm sure that you know what i'm talking about..
Hey, anyway...Always a pleasure having your input and your visit in here David...Thanks Man

Hi Glen, Thanks for the link! Interesting but a bit to much bling for me ... like Dali on acid!

Hi Glenn, looking good! This boxer looks a bit "long in the tooth" you must have been modeling him after me ... good body though!

One minor suggestion .... it looks like he is wearing slip on sneakers to me, knowing that you are a perfectionist, perhaps hightop boxing shoes would be more authentic and more pleasing to the eye. Just a thought!

All the best, David

I like this last one.
Somehow, a slave in chains comes to me. Not too far from your subject, I hope so.

Thanks David ...You are right about the shoes ..I'll have to find some good refference..can't remember the details of them and how they look..been along time..
About the long in the tooth look..I am thinking of an older boxer, past his prime kind of theme for this piece.I think it might add to the mood/feeling that i'm trying to project with the dark lighting..lights out/last call kind of theme.
I watched Requiem for a Heavyweight with Anthony Quinn the other day to get some inspiration and feeling for what i'm going after in this piece...Great Movie on the reality and darker side of boxing.

Hi Michalis

Hey ..Thanks Man......I like your idea for a slave piece...Could be a very powerful concept and piece if done right..Lighting, shade, and shadow would be key to it's success in creating the right kind of mood, feeling, and atmosphere I think...Thanks for the Inspiration Michalis..Very much appreciated and welcomed my friend...

Those boots are made for boxing! I believe the first fighter to wear white boxing shoes was a Cuban by the name of Kid Chocolate! Looking good Glenn! Cheers, David
