Just finished listening to the discord chat on Mspwaves and the amazing community coming together to bring back four Witnesses. Very proud of everyone involved and hope it keeps moving in the right direction. I know most of the talk at the moment will be about Justin Sun so I will sneak this sculpture in under the radar just so I can say I documented it. Hopefully nobody will notice, because it's pretty crap.
Logo sculpture
This was a little project Niall Magee and Myself made for Hennessy whiskey as part of the 2007 fringe Festival in Dublin. It was quite a commercial sculpture with lots of logo work but I did try and design it to at least have some sort of creative elements.
We actually made two sculptures pretty much the same.
The client wanted their logo plastered everywhere which I didn't really like but sometimes you have to suck it up and do it for the pay day.
My only want for the design was to add elements of music so that it fit in better with the festival and we didn't look too much like commercial whores. The client didn't really care as long as the sculpture were branded heavily.
The most note worthy thing about the project was that the sculptures were built on a little scaffolded island in the middle of a dock. I was worried that the weight of the sand would be an issue on the wood and metal base and it was. The sculpture was wobbling as we carved but luckily we were able to keep it altogether by moving slowly and trying not to shake the platform.
I usually hate designing before I make a sculpture but the client wanted to see something so I sent them this amazing rendering. Say nothin', you know I am a sculptor and not a drawer.

Thanks for reading. I use Steem to document my work as an ephemeral Sculptor of sand, snow and ice, amongst other things. This will hopefully give it a new life on the Steem blockchain. Below you will find some of my recent posts.
