Feet by Rob Liefeld. Oh, snap!

In fact anyone who is not in the L.A. area, we have news for you. We will be offering the Creature and Character Design class over the course of five consecutive days starting November 29 and concluding December 3. We are doing this so that out-of-towners can have access to this course without having to interrupt their lives for five weeks. This will also be the first class to be held in or new facilities located at: 21629 Marilla Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311. There are a number of hotels within walking distance. We ask that any local prospective students please wait until September 25 before signing up. This will give our long distance friends ample time to get a seat. If you know someone who has wanted to take this course, but could not manage the five week commitment, please, let them know about this.

You can sign up for this class in our store.

“What does butter face mean, again?”

This is a very special Monster of the Day. This bust is roughly 4.5 inches tall and was made to demonstrate Jordu’s techniques for making miniature eyes and dentures. For those of you who have enrolled in the Advanced Maquette Building Class, this is just a taste of what you will be learning. Now would be a good time to mention that there are still a few seats available for this class which starts on August 14.

“Slow down. I can’t exactly put on shoes.”

He’s a happy bird-beast!

Guess who’s drunk again.

“You are no son of mine.”

“I’m sick of being compared with ‘Flock of Seagulls’! My sound is completely different.”

For those of you who just want a taste of Jordu’s creature and character design course, you should come to Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra for Jordu’s mini-seminar. He will present his overview of the history and philosophy of creature design. This is the same lecture he has given all over the world, including Industrial Light and Magic. He will continue with a sculpture demonstration. The July 18th seminar is $55 and you can sign up at the Gallery Nucleus website.
*UPDATE*This session has been moved to August 22.

This vintage sketch was designed for the first ever Schell Sculpture Studio sign.

I watched him eat once. Never again.

I just can’t stay mad at him.
