Rob Pruitt "The Andy Monument"

Working from scans provided by the artist, I finalized the design in Zbrush and CNC-milled a life-size model in foam. The foam was hand finished and molds were produced of the figure, bag and glasses. Fiberglass castings were assembled and the final figure was chrome plated and clear-coated to protect the finish from the elements and streets of NYC.

The pedestal was designed in-house and cast in reinforced concrete. Project was completed while working for KB Projects.
