Title: Couple Of Monster Busts To Share... First Post!
Post by: Howard S on May 25, 2010, 10:27:20 PM
Hi Folks,

New to this board... great place!  I hope to share a bit of some older Universal Monster busts I've sculpted as well a few new ones in the works!

I've attached a few pics... the first is a Silicone Glenn Strange bust, then a Wolfman and Frankenstein bronzes, and finally a Grinch silicone bust.

I absolutely adore that Glenn Strange bust. Are copies available for purchase, perchance?

Isn't there an emoticon here that genuflects?? Because I feel a real need to genuflect before Howard's work.

You KNOW you're the 'goods' when someone is willing to bow down BEFORE your work... as opposed to AFTER it.  I'm trying to get my boss to praise me before I do anything instead of waiting for the result.  I'm not having any success in this venture, btw.   ;)

Just as a show of good will, I'm bowing down to your first great post before you actually write one....... BA DUM-CHING!! (sorry, you walked right into that one)  ;)

Welcome aboard Howard...you are one of the reasons we have great pieces to collect and marvel at.   Your work inspires us to create and carry on the tradition.  It's a great feeling when a master such as yourself shares his works with those you truly appreciate what you create...It's like Yoda sharing the ways of the FORCE with young Skywalker, LOL!!! Thanks again!
