3D printing is fast becoming the norm. It's an amazingly quick way to prototype, creation of files can happen on the fly and sweeping alterations done in minutes. For client work, it's a must. BUT the thing holding it back is the time it takes to print. A decent sized file, say something the size of a coffee pot can take upwards of 12 hours to print! That's where my resin casting history shines. I can cast a silicone mold of a printed piece, and then turn out a casting every 15 minutes to half hour. Cutting to a fraction of time that a 3D printer can produce copies! The downside is, people think a program just magically makes these things and they don't value the work that 3D sculpting takes. It doesn't work like that. There is no part of anything on these pages that I didn't personally touch or create. From the lines in the woodgrain of the tikis, to the dimples in the axolotls cheeks. It's all my handiwork.

"Phil Fly"

"Phil Fly"

Much more complicated than you'd think to make this sort of thing. 3D sculpting is figuring out where mold lines go and how to logically part things out for production

"Dolly head mold"

Hollow casting molds are made differently for a rotocaster to make the head hollow. This way I can cast many, quickly.
