"Guardians of the Fortress" by Michael Whelan. This project started with 1/2 of the castle in chavant clay from a sculptor at the Franklin Mint. I then took the clay, dissected it into parts to mold. After creating silicon molds of all of the parts, I cast them all in duplicate and re-engineered and refined the model for final production tooling.

Harley Davidson Thunder In The Sky Pewter Eagle Statue - This was one of the first sculptures that I worked during my time at the Franklin Mint.

I sculpted all of the earth and cloud elements as well as mounted the main sculpt. I then created final tooling.
