This is the final product, I will eventually get some better photo's together as these don't really do the piece justice, however i was excited to show the final product... I may add to it, however for now, this is complete... it has an 8 foot wingspan and is my first attempt at working with concrete... so for that i'm proud.

This is a new sculpture I'm working on...in progress

This is a sculpture I've been working on it's concrete, wood, nails, wire and porcelain... based on the Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci, in his bestiary, he explains the Pelican as follows... This bears a great love to its young; and if it finds them slain in the nest by a serpent it pierces itself  to the heart in their presence, and by bathing them with a shower of blood it restores them to life"  there will be a red piece of satin coming from the chest holding three baby pelicans (seen below)... one dead (slain by the serpent), one waking up, and one completely alive..... This book has been a 'bible' of sort for me through my art work if for nothing else than to read the incredible words of such a brilliant artist...this story of the pelican for some reason stays with me which is why i chose to depict it here... my style choices were based on a contemporary/gothic theme based on the morbid but beautiful words that depict the Pelican... enjoy.. i will post a finished product soon
