Fantasy Figures
In
"The Mourning Bride" William Congreve states, "Heav'n has no rage, like love to
hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd.", "Rancorousness"
($335) on the left above, making her way down the stone steps with her stainless
steel sword poised, is an 11" tall example of that saying . Small chains
hold her scabbard and halter in place. The wizard is a 13" tall subject carved out of a
cypress knee, making him somewhat unique. The creation of "Malevolent Manga",
11" tall ($240), with her long legs and oversized head with the big eyes was
influenced by the popularity of anime, the Japanese comic book art form that has
influenced the video game industry. Ol' Don's "Shaggy Sorcerer" ($185) is 6" tall and one of
his most popular workshop subjects.
