Casting Gallery

 Finished pieces to date (June 05)


This Gallery is a collection of pieces created since 2002, the listing is loosely chronological with the most current to oldest. There are numerous missing pieces as they have been given out before getting a picture.

The images are larger and more detailed then are posted else where in this site, and so will load more slowly, please be patient.

 

This plaque was part of the Xmas 2004 run...

The idea was to tie the Golfer to the shape & colour of the green.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tree line was machined from a photo and creates a country feel to the backdrop for the lower lettering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yet another of the Xmas 2004 line... 

I can't stand to look at the "D" in Debbie, but have included this picture to inspire me to face flaws, and resolve to improve my work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Xmas 2004...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a Killer Whale breaking the surface of the water!!!

It seems half the people just don't see it... but once told they can't help but see it...

Obviously it needs some work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Pine Plaque made in desperation after 3 metal versions failed in the casting process, and time was running out... (Xmas 04)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This lone Maple finally made it into metal, after numerous attempts, but one wood version does exist.

This piece will be reproduced in a limited edition of 25 serialized castings in the future... Note Serial # 1, 2 & 3 are already gone...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is 1 of 5 pieces that were made for a reunion of housemates that all shared this address in the early 1980's in Toronto.

I can't remember living anywhere else that held a persistent party for 3 years with no stops, breaks or pauses...

It was exhausting...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A gift to my daughter and her Chihuahua, "Buddy"...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This pattern is for my wife's pet grooming business.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd worked at the RVH for 5 years and worked quite closely with the crew in maintenance.

I thought an "Edgy" design, best represented them and their work environment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This casting was the proto-type for the center pattern used in the RVH plaque pictured above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was for a close friend that could, and does spend hours exalting the virtues of Honda Corp. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This plaque was one I did just for kicks, and the experience of duplicating an existing design.

It eventually made it's way to WCC in Long Beach Calif. But I never heard from them, one way or the other...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A gift plaque designed in 2003, cast in 2004...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A gift plaque designed in 2003, cast in 2004...

This piece really needs to be re-cast, the original retrieved and destroyed, as the lettering is so flawed...
