Giraffe

Calvin has been commissioned to make a giraffe sculpture. He completed it on Saturday and it's now drying before going in to the kiln. Looks pretty sweet. Well done, Dude!

Chav Gorilla

Calvin has finished and glazed his Chav Gorilla. He's got his bright blue baseball cap, fat gold rope, can of lager and his bull terrier straining to rip your insides out.

Working on a commission

Calvin has been working on a commission recently which is quite exciting for him. A lady seen the website and got in contact with him to ask if he could make a sculpture for her.

It'll be finished in a few weeks — it's drying right now —and then I'll put some pictures online of it.

Collector in New York buys a gorilla

Gorilla and the doughnut.

Great news! An art collector from New York has spotted one of Calvin's sculptures on the internet and has bought it from The Gallery on the Corner.

Well done to Paul and Robin at the gallery for helping with the sale and especially well done to Calvin for being so creative. Well done son.

Troop of Gorillas

Calvin has a troop of gorillas in the house at the moment that are at different stages. Some are still needing their first firing, some have been fired but need glazing and fired and some are finished completed and about to be taken up to the gallery.

Nick Park from Aardman

Well now, I found this old press cutting tonight of when Calvin had an article written about him in the Sunday Post whilst he was still at Primary school. Oscar winner Nick Park from Aardman bigging up Calvin's work is pretty smooth!

Dinosaur Plaque

Gorilla brooches

Buttons

Calvin made these as a wee test for the glaze; just to see how it would turn out.

Chav Ape ready for glaze

This has dried out now and is ready for glazing.

Mmm... doughnut.

Here's some pics of the glazed gorilla eating a glazed doughnut.

Teacher's pet

Here's the final gorilla Calvin has done as a gift for his teacher from high school.

Buttons and badges

Gorilla & Doughnut

Another wee creation glazed and finished.

Another day, another gorilla!

Calvin is making this one for his art teacher. He's leaving high school next week for the final time and wants to give her this as a present.

Elephant before glazing

Strong Gorilla

Calvin is making gorilla's faster than I can take photographs of them at the moment.

Chillaxing.

Relaxing gorilla.

Munchtime.

Calvin started a new sculpture today. It's bigger than the previous gorilla and he's added a bit more character. It's a huge gorilla enjoying a doughnut for lunch!

Exhibiting Artist!

Calvin has been asked by The Gallery on the Corner if they could show a few of his pieces of work at an exhibition that starts tomorrow. He's got a brooch, a stylised family of blue speckled birds and also the elephant and the gorilla you can see here.

It's quite a nice mixture of styles and sizes.
