Hi Dan! Are you still doing dragons? I thought you disappear
Hello Karla. Life got in the way of my art for a while. I’m back to working on my art again. Hopefully I’ll have something to show soon.
Btw how fo you ship you art? I put one of my dragons that i made with your book on a museum for a tome, and when they returned it to me the teeth and horns where broken 🙁
Time*
Shipping sculpture is not easy. I build custom containers made specifically for the piece of art I am shipping. It is very time consuming. But I don’t want things breaking en route. I often say (mostly in jest but with some truth) that it takes more work to build the shipping crate that to make the art project.
If you lent a piece of art to a museum then it was their responsibility to get it back to you unbroken. They should have hired a professional to make the shipping container. It is not acceptable for them to damage your work!
mr dan your work has always inspired me i have made myself 4 dragons(ones in the process of being made and i would love to show you my work to see what a big influence you’ve been to me if there is any way i can get you some pics of my dragons pls let me know i would love for you to see them!
Hello Matthew. I’d love to see your projects! You can send photos to dan@gourmetpapermache.com
ok i sent them! by the way i’m sure you’ve probably already answered this question but how do you make the dragons mouth look wet?
