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.

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.

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.

Another mean looking gorilla

Chav Gorilla

The other week Calvin made a chav gorilla complete with peaked baseball cap, gold chain, can of lager and, of course, a bull terrier.

He's waiting for the clay to dry before firing them and then glazing.

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.

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.

Gorilla bust

Calvin has started to make a large Gorilla bust. This is the first really large item he's made so fingers crossed it goes well.

Finished Gorilla

Calvin finished the gorilla last night. Looks pretty impressive considering it's his first one made from clay. Need to wait for it to dry out before it can be fired in a kiln.

Good work Calvin!
