The Road Warrior sculpture

This is one of my newest sculptures created for the sole purpose of my enjoyment. I wanted to create a sculpture in the likeness of the crazy Villan in Mad Max and also in the likeness of the charachter in the video game Borderlands.
The color concept is derived from the need to create a color contrast. I used a darker colored wire for the body and I used orange and white for the highlights in the armor. This charachter had to have a mohawk because both charachters had them in the movie and in the game. The wepons carried by the charachter are from my vivid imagination. I gave him a Greese gun in his right hand that has the butt stock extended for greater support. He also has an asault riffel in his left hand equipt with a scope. On his left side is a side hand gun for thoes upclose and personal enguagements. Lastly I gave him a sword because you can't be a road warrior and not have a sword. I wanted to make the face guard something different so I went with a completly different design. I loved creating this sculpture because I just let go and opened my mind and let the creativity just flow. I get alot of comments about how I put so many weapons on the sculptures. It's just my personality I identify with the warrior mind set and that is what gets me going. So If you are a person who can't appreciate the idea of a warrior defending his family and home then you may never get this type of art but if you do then you will enjoy many of my works.

Deacon Lords is on the move



This blog is all about Deacon Lords. We have been very busy with craft shows all over northern Va. This year we have put more sculptures out in circulation than ever before! Our next venture will be in
Art A La Carte an artist cooperative
The gallery is located in Occoquan, VA.
I will have many of my newest works displayed there. I hope you will have an opportunity to come out and visit the gallery and see some incredible art work.

The following image I have a picture of an Futuristic Army Ranger with full battle armor and heads up display.


The next sculpture was one that was inspired by the thought of my fellow Marines. After I watched the movie aliens and I got a glimpse of the Space Marines, I had to make my version of them. This sculpture captures all of the bravado and toughness of the Marines. I imagined a warrior that had enough weapons to be his own field support. He has shoulder mounted howitzers, two arm mounted machine guns, also on his leg is a rocket system to give him a real powerful punch on the battlefield.



These are just a few of my many creations. I am constantly in the laboratory creating new sculptures and pushing the envelope.
