Re: Group Build 6 month- open class (9-1-08) $$PRIZE
Ever read 'Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance'?
Anyone who 'makes, builds, creates anything with dedication and care is doing this. Perhaps not consciously though...we all have our own 'style' or 'look' to our models. There it is right there.
We all worship Mars in our own way. ;(
There was a Polish sculptor who migrated to the US after the war...the bulk of his work is in America...it's big stuff too. Statues and the like, not for the mantlepiece. A friend of mine introduced me to this bloke. Name of Szukalski...I forget his first name. My friend bought me a small book that outlined this guy's ideas on 'race'...he was a nut job actually. He had some nazi-esque ideas about 'superiority' and 'inferiority' but didn't subscribe to genocide by any means. Funnily, he didn't consider his own race to be superior. I offer that only as a background. My point is this. He wrote some pretty cool stuff too. One thing he wrote, I saw fit as a younger man (and an aspiring artist) to copy into my diary word for word...I think it applies to modelling just as much. It's a little long but worth it...
