Tales update

With a big assist from Anne Fisher Gonzales, all the writing for "Tales: The Art of Christian Alzmann" is done and edited, including a very generous foreword by the uber talented Aaron McBride and an afterword by legendary Iain McCaig. It is now in the capable hands of Design Studio Press and off to the printer. A big thank you to  Anne, Aaron and Iain as well as Dylan Cole, Shelly Wan and Dan Dos Santos for their blurbs and Scott, Tinti and Ceci at DSP for holding my hand and getting me to this point. 

Here is a sneak peek at the tutorial section. If interested you can pre-oder from Amazon.

Big week. All the images for "Tales; The Art of Christian Alzmann" have been sent to Design Studio Press so they can do their publishing magic. We are just a few months away from taking delivery of my first book. Crazy! Here is a sneak peak. Please let me know what you think.

Poot

Tony Mcvey has been sculpting for more that 35 years and has worked at ILM, Disney and Jim Henson Productions to name a few. His work can be seen in Star Wars: the Phantom Menace, The Dark Crystal and Superman. He is one of the old school sculptors I  admire so much.

I am honored that Tony was inspired by a sketch of mine and is going to producing a very limited (15) run of " Poot" sculptures. Please contact Tony for more information. You can reach him at ajmcvey@aol.com. And make sure to check out his blog and site

Semi_Permanent Design Conference, Auckland

Huge thank you to Andrew, Murray and Simon for another great Semi-Permanent. I am always honored to be asked to speak but feel like I am the one who finds so much inspiration from the other speakers and participants. Congrats on ten years and keep up the amazing work.
