My fiance David has been working particularly hard recently on writing funding applications and strategising towards getting his animated cop show up and into the world. So I decided to make him a sculpted version of one of the main characters, Sargent Ackersley.
It is very much a prototype to figure out issues with the design of the hair and also getting used to the material, sculpey. The figure had no legs in the end, the next version will need to have a wire armature as the base because the narrow legs can’t support the heavy cylindrical torso without more structure.

More from me about the experience when I have my brain back, but in the meantime here are what people are saying about this year’s National Young Writers’ Festival on the interwebs.

I now have my first ongoing work in Melbourne, which is extremely exciting to me. The job is as one of the Events Assistants at Glen Eira City Council.
It’s good for getting me out of the house and away from gmail
I’ve been working quietly on the National Young Writers’ festival for some months and it is now getting close to the stage where I will have something to show for it.
For those of you that don’t know about what happens in Newcastle, NSW, on the labor day long weekend in October check out the video below. More soon!
Additional orange/black band stickers not part of original art. Initially I was annoyed, but on closer inspection they had the cheek(respect?) to place the stickers in the line of vision of the characters on the two occassions they look off into the distance, a very awkward attempt to make like the stickers were part of the story.
