tTo David Thornton... for him to post on his davidmackguide.com site and to post a link on this board.
The photos were taken because Clayburn Moore is doing a brand new statue of Kabuki to be released next year.
A much larger statue than the first Kabuki statue from 98.
There will be some photos of Clay's initial armiture scultping that he constructed with update photos from time to time on the site to show the process of his sculpture.
To help Clay out, I took some photos of Anh in the pose that we were discussing and that his armiture showed.
So Clay can use the photos of Anh as reference of how I would like the figure and stance and presence of the statue.
In the past, I sent Clay sketches for this. But I felt like the photos of a real figure from all angles would be a much more helpful jumping off point for him.
Anh is wearing the Kabuki style boots, and has a sickle in each hand. Which helps with the realism from Clay's pov. Especially so he can see how the muscles move in the figure while holding the sickles, etc.
And Amazon Anh captures the form of the sculpture fantasticly. All 5 ft 9 inches of her.
So the photos also show great shots of the ACTUAL KABUKI SICKLE that will be available next year. From all angles in her hands. In case you want to see what that looks like too.
The other sickle she has is from the farm that my mother grew up on in PA.
And Anh took some photos of me demonstrating to her the stance that the statue was to have. So there are some photos of me showing Anh the pose I'm looking for as well.
And it's all in my studion, so you can catch some glimpses of what that looks like if you are interested.
And I think one of my cats is in frame in one of the photos.
SO this should be on the Davidmackguide.com website asap, and I'm sure he will post a link to them on this board asap. |

David Thornton,
You should have all of my e-mails with all of these photos by now.
Please let me know if you have recieved them just fine.
I have some other photos I'll be sending you for the site in the future.
All the various photos of people with Kabuki tattoos. Some really good ones of these.
Other reference photos of Anh that I've been using in the current ALCHEMY series.
And lots of other stuff!
But all these e-mails just happened today between Clayburn Moore and I and it wasn't difficult to forward them to you.
And they are 100% new and current  |

Kickass! I wondered what Clay Moore was up to now.
Is he still doing the Kabuki mini-bust series? _________________

What a great way to start off the week - news about a new Kabuki statue and some terrific reference material that includes the Kabuki sickle
The photos arrived and are available at http://davidmackguide.com/news/2004/10/17.shtml
Many thanks for the photos. I can't wait to see what the final version of the new Kabuki statue looks like
Best,
David Thronton >> http://davidmackguide.com |

it's pretty cool to see the photo references... anh isn't embarassed to model? (not that she should be - she looks great!)
i'd like to see how the statue turns out... i didn't see any kitties in the photos! but i didn't look at all of them - i felt too much like a voyeur...  _________________ "the picture you see is no portrait of me it's too real to be shown to someone i don't know" |

In the last photo of Anh, there's a cat in the lower left hand corner standing in the shadows. Hope this helps
