The Flying Turtle

The Flying Turtle / Sculpture | Personal

The man riding the flying turtle was originally a discarded process sketch when I was putting together the Flying Machines drawing. Before the painting existed, the character had been animated in several forms and also impressively sculpted. Once again the sculpture is by Alex Avelino. The least I could do was offer to paint the beast...

More apes, and more Heston!

The third image in this posting is a photograph of a sculpture. The 15" figure dubbed "Heston" was created by the amazingly talented Alex Avelino and based on my designs in the painting above it. Alex A. does awesome work and there are many more collaborations like this one to come...

Inspiring stuff Avelino!
