Owls, Dogs & Elephants, Oh My: Stunning New Commissions from Scott Radke

  • by

If you’re like me and have been waiting forever for your own Scott Radke commission, my friends, our time has come! For the last month or so, Scott has been on a tear, striking off many a collector’s bucket lists with owls, dogs and — get this — an ELEPHANT. I figured Scott had done it all, but that … that’s a first.

Fashioned from clay and burlap, the sculptures all stand around the 20-inch mark. If you’re looking to get something done by Scott, email him at scott@scottradke.com. Scott will also be exhibiting with Kathie Olivas and Stephen Webb at Stranger Factory in April 2013, so be sure to mark your calendars for that, as well!

Ever Wanted a Blueprint of Your Dog or Cat?

  • by

For every dog and cat lover out there or for the common veterinary hospital, there are now blueprints of your beloved companions. It seems when you combine a love for pets and the skills of an architect and a graphic designer, you get the Animal Blueprint Company. This company makes 1950’s style blueprints of many popular breeds of dogs and cats. The blueprints feature factual information that is specific to that breed like the muscular shoulders of a bulldog to the fox like head of a corgi. Interesting and fun print for all the animal lovers.

Scott Radke’s Brilliant ‘King Killian’ Commission

Jaw. On. The. Floor.

Scott Radke was recently commissioned by indie filmmaker Jim McKenzie to bring two of his characters to life, Roach and Fred the dog, from McKenzie’s fantasy-drama short, King Killian.

I could go on and on about how fabulous these sculpts are, but your time would be far better served watching the film. It’s the most powerful 2 minutes and 23 seconds you’ll experience today.

I know. Hits you right where it hurts the most. The Killian project was McKenzie’s labour of love for two years, working on it while attending college and then eventually finishing it as part of his degree. If you’re interested in the project, check out the King Killian blog for some insight into the process.
