"old money"

[randall rosenthal]

well...i might as well just keep this thing going. here is the beginning of the next sculpture(from the stock i bought recently).....a pile of sunday morning newspapers with the puzzle on top. iv'e done one before but i've learned a few things since then. at this point its just roughed out with large gouges, knives and a straight edge.

moving right along.....slow going as i'm doing two other pieces at the same time.

[randall rosenthal]

ok...moving right along...finished the three commissions that needed to be done by Christmas and am back to work on the newspapers. there is about 50 hours of work between this photo and the last. just about ready for poly and paint and ink.

[randall rosenthal]

this is a more "sculptural" view. ready to put the poly on today.

OK....twenty thousand hits.......yikes!!

[randall rosenthal]

i'm actually a bit further along than this i'll post again soon. thanks for asking.

[Brian Kent]

You can't fool me! You photographed a stack of newspapers and then carved wood into the same shape, then showed us the original photograph!

[Brett Baldwin]

If I'm not mistaken, I think three across is WOW! Your work is inspiring.

[Van Huskey]

I am well... speechless. I have a freind that is really good a photorealistic painting but this just blows my mind.

[randall rosenthal]

about a week to go.....doing work no one will notice but me.
