A Small Dog with Adjust-o-Bulge Eyes

in art •  7 years ago 

My friend had a Boston Terrier named Louis. When Louis got excited, his eyes would bulge tremendously, which was pretty funny to see. After he died, my friend requested a small commemorative sculpture of him. I left the screws that form metal Louis' eyes free so that they could bulge to whatever degree was appropriate at the time.

This is truly beautiful. How long did this one take? Did you use the metal parts as they are or did you bend / manipulate them? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. This one took about 2 hours I think. I use parts as is when I can, and alter them when I need to. The only parts I had to change significantly on this where the ears. They started out as a co2 cartridge before I cut and bent them.

cute!!

Thanks!

Very cool. Have you considered auctioning these off on here? I'm sure a few people would be willing to snag one... Myself including (maybe a little further down the line after I recover from the holidays).

Thanks! I own very little of my work, but I was thinking about using this as a selling platform earlier today for the new stuff I have and will be posting.
