Lighthouse. Again Chris' idea. (...and yes there there was a fracture)

Rose from a black-board chalk

2008-12-14T23:43:00.001-08:00

This was my second rose carved from a chalk. I lost the first one I made. The rose itself did not turn out as good as the first one, but the first sculpture was without a pot, and I think this one looks better overall. It is amongst my favorite sculptures.

In case you were wondering, the stalk is not made of chalk (obviously!). I made it from broken paperclip. Thanks for looking!

Chalk carving of a face - 1998

2008-12-14T23:42:00.001-08:00

This is my first ever chalk sculpture. I made it while sitting in an Anatomy class that was not very exciting. I actually used a scalpel to carve this. It is my favorite sculpture so far. The irregularity of the surface gives it a realistic look. I have often stared at it trying to interpret the expression, but am still not sure I understand.

I had initially painted it using a brown and a black sketch pen. About 4 years later, I repainted the surface to give it the current look.

What do you think of his expression? Please post your comment.

Princess of all sculptures

2008-12-14T23:41:00.001-08:00

I agree the face is not that of a princess. However the overall look of the sculpture made me name it 'Princess of all sculptres'. What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

Happy and Sad Chalk Sculpture

2008-12-14T23:40:00.001-08:00

Technically speaking, this may not be the best of sculptures . I think I messed up the lips of the sad face. Also if you notice, I broke the left eyebrow of the happy face. What I like a lot about this piece, is the yellow-blue-orange-red-green combination of the happy face. I think it looks pretty. What do you think?

Chinese man: Incomplete

2008-12-14T23:38:00.001-08:00

This Chinese man has been lying incomplete since the July of 2008. (What a pediatric residency can do to a wannabe artist!). I have the feeling though, if and when I do complete this one, it is going to be one of my best pieces. Stay tuned...

Grief

2008-12-14T23:37:00.001-08:00

I was inspired to do this carving by a painting I saw somewhere. The painting showed a sad young lady. I ended up with a middle aged sad bald man with no ears. Nonetheless I like this one. Comments???

Totem pole

2008-12-14T23:33:00.001-08:00

Although I named this piece, totem pole, it was not really inspired by totem poles. I set out to carve a human face and this is what I ended up with. I love his crown...or what ever that golden thing extending from his nose upwards is!

On second thoughts, I can probably rename it 'the king of all sculptures'.

The chalk mermaid without a fin

2008-11-27T19:01:00.001-08:00

I broke the fin. I broke the fin. I broke the fin. And when I did, I lost interest (or rather was too afraid) to carve the neck to look more realistic. (or at least "mermaidalistic")

I am surprised that none of my physician friends have called it 'mermaid with Turner syndrome' yet!!

The car

My first sculpture of a non-living object!

The lady in green with a purse

2008-11-27T18:59:00.001-08:00

This is a lady with a small head, a really big jaw and no breasts! Also notice her golden purse :-)

Professor with a tie

2008-11-27T18:55:00.001-08:00

He sure has the 'professorial' look. This is one of my best 'finished' works.

Purple Necklace

One of my first attempts. Poorly carved, Poorly painted, Poorly named, Period.

Black man with a flower

2008-11-27T18:48:00.001-08:00

This piece broke at junction of its lower 1/4th and the upper 3/4ths. If you look carefully, you can still see the fracture line. I placed a piece of paper clip inside and glued the pieces together. Guess I should have been an orthopedician! This one is pretty rough.

Man

2008-11-27T12:15:00.001-08:00

Man with a big moustache, Security guard with a moustache. Moustache, Man with folded arms... Those were some of the names I thought of, before I decided to call him simply " man". Notice his blue green shirt is not uniformly painted. Actually my sketch pens ran out of ink, and I being a poor med student then, did not have enough money to buy new ones!
