These pieces, along with the figure used in this book, were part of an installation titled Major Impact.

They were all carved in foam. Various finish and mold techniques were  tried for the final works over a period of eight years.

Carving foam is great for sculpture, models and large scale pattern work.

TJ has used this basic process for large industrial models and forms as well.  Any type of project you want to create in 3D can benefit from this read.  Whether you are a skilled sculptor or just a curious  person with a project to consider, Tj's insights will be helpful to you. 

The mold form for this Japanese soak tub

and the patterns for the flaming fender skirts on this hot rod Lincoln were carved using these same techniques.

The Sculpture Examples in these Books

 Tj ‘s journal with color photos on the 6 ½ ft high Impacted Male was the start of this book series. As he tried techniques he recorded everything for several years.  Now you get to see it all happen in pictures and hear why and why not to do various steps from an expert designer and craftsman. 

Tj realized for trying out these techniques we also needed a way to do a quick piece. He did a relief sculpture specifically for this purpose.

You can see how rock surfaces are created with different techniques and formulas. The relief piece illustrates many ways to make natural stone looks that will help you see the options you have. The basic application and finish methods on both sculptures are the same.  

Both are portrayed at all stages of work and tips and tricks on how to get the effects pictured are in pictures and words.

Even diagrams explaining techniques have bee designed by the sculptor for the sculptor.

 Just like being in the studio.

Do the sculpture techniques with a group: 5 or more sets of books will receive class discounts. Contact Tj. for more info!
