Today's summary: More new sculpture shipped to L.A.

I shipped the second set of artwork today.

First, a tarantula with bullet toes, gun barrel brush legs, and eight red eyes. I LOVE this guy, I'll be sorry to see him go... The name is, of course, a reference to the cliffhanger of the Brady Bunch's Hawaiian vacation episode.

Next, a butterfly with sunglass lenses for wings, along with a chrysalis, caterpillar, and egg. I'm so glad I finally got to execute this concept, and I'm happy with the result.

And last, a ladybug type with serrated wings. The red of the wingcovers is very deep and dark, so that unless it's under very bright spotlight, it's very nearly black.
