Tidal Tyranny + Workshop


Workshop Fun

OK.
So about a month or so ago I was approached by a good friend of mine who thought it would be a great idea to run a workshop. I have never ran a workshop of any kind, so I thought why not!

Frankly the idea kind of scares me a little but non the less it will be a great experience for me 
and for anyone who is interested in my work and my process.

So here we are - I'm a running a driftwood sculpting workshop at Pataka Gallery in Porirua
on the 6th of December. It will start at 11 am and go till 4pm.
$50 for the day.

All materials will be supplied, how ever if you have any great pieces of driftwood or seaweed you think might be a great addition feel free to bring it along!

Only 15 spots and they are filling up quick. So if you would like to come along or get more information please email me at
che.thorpe@gmail.com to secure a spot.

Thank you!!!!

Also this Tidal Tyrant below will be for sale at Black coffee in Newtown.

Hell O ween

"The creature from Black Lagoon",
It's a fun sculpt from a while back,
I enjoyed playing with a lot of different textures for his face and shoulders.
I have 3D printed him for a friend, but I still have a bit of clean up on him before he's ready.

As you can see below I'm currently obsessed with Del Toro's Pale man, such a symbol of pure evil.
In this case I think my budget Halloween costume has captured his essense more effective than my Zbrush sculpt
