This is not a painting but an actual sculptural model.
He stood nine feet tall and won first place in the Creatures and Models
Competition at the 1999 Marin County Fair (which was judged by artists
from Industrial Light and Magic's creature shop)! His construction was
a group effort, but he was my design, and I helped build him. Someday
I hope to build his brothers, the other two Sages of the Trine.
Armature: PVC rod, football armor, lots of ductape and
Emma's old hiking rig. Materials: Burlap,vinyl, other fabrics, liquid
latex, polyurethane foam, porcupine quills, cotton batting, old socks,
paint, plastics, bits of metal, Zoobs(tm), other stuff we had lying
around or pulled out of the dumpster at the very last minute. Other
members of the Ummu team: Emma and Sean. I've lost your contact info,
guys. If you're out there, give me a holler!
