I'm glad that Olley-esque influences have seeped into the work of other sculptors. I'll have to check out Clint Staples' other work.<br />I also really appreciate how you break down what paints you used to achieve the effects you got. Thanks for that.matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7720801445504663403.post-66626652729402548442022-06-09T05:55:55.729-04:002022-06-09T05:55:55.729-04:00He looks great Matt.
