Sculpt -o- Rama! *Jason Freeny Special*

Now I know that this man doesn't just sculpt, but that is what first attracted me to him.  

Jason Freeny has become a massive influence/part of my work and my approach to sculpting models. Something that he has done on his site many a time (especially on his Facebook) is document, in pictures, the beginning to end of an "Anatomical Vinyl Toy" sculpt. See the thing you will most definitely notice with Mr Freeny's work, is that it's all bones and organs and the way various bodies work. Let me explain.

He takes a (sometimes well known, sometimes not so well known) character toy and takes it apart, then proceeds to cut the bits in half, leaving just the empty shell inside. He then preps it, puts it back together and builds a small wire structure to keep it all up, pads it with excess clay, bakes it so it is all nice and solid and sound and (this is the good part) from here he starts to construct a detailed model of the bones and organs inside the character *pictured below*

This man's work is utterly astounding and he deserves all the credit it/he gets. I have been following his work religiously ever since he did the "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" anatomy sculpt. He has a whole back catalogue of various different characters you can check out, but that's not all. Jason also partakes in 3D work. Creating some of the best 3D 360s and stills I have seen in a long time. Including, a gummi bear, Lego man and blow up glove!

This man is a genius with his utterly unbelievable creativity skills. I have probably missed so much more out. But the best thing to do is go see for yourself.
