Tv tv

Today the dude himself was coming to the studio & he was going to check out the sculpture's progress.

He told me what was wrong with the arms & that. He said he wouldn't really move like that, which is fairinuff, cos he'd know. But then he looked at the little maquette & he said that was fine. So the problem was in how i'd interpreted that & we worked out what that was. One arm was pointing in the wrong direction. Typical i had made such a damn complicated pose that i couldn't understand it myself. But like hey whats the point of doing something easy.

I told him stories of Egyptian travels while we sat around waiting for the tv guys. There is one thing you can get from a nightmare trip like going to egypt, & that is spellbinding stories of horror. Heh.

The tv crew & presenter turned up to do a piece on the making of. I hadn't get enough notice to get my hair cut or even get the studio trackie dacks laundered. So i kept on my street clothes for the tv stuff. It went quite well i talked good & they asked good questions so it was easy. The only problem is that i'm in it, but then so's the subject & he's cool. Luckily the head of the sculpture comes off & on, & that novelty's probably going to be a feature of the film.

They're gonna film at the foundry too & all that later & then show it on the day of the unveiling, on telly. The cameraman knew my sculptures already & he liked em :) How cool is that.

Anyway... i been working very hard on this sculpture lately. Bin a while since i blogged but i been flogging the work pretty hard. Its about half way there. the socks are good. The head looks like the dude on one side & not on the other. But thats pretty good cos usually it doesn't work till about version #3. This guy's got an easy head! About time i got one like that :)
