Hello folks,
I'm Phil. Expat Kiwi. Signwriter and pictorial artist by trade. Moved to Australia from Auckland in 1988 to Melbourne then to Brisbane 8 years ago.
Into rugby union and doing what I want to do. 99% of the time I'm playing with putty or drawing.
With my figures I like to protray correct body language and anatomy and they look like the bloke who lives nextdoor to us all. There are other periods that I like. Every thing from Romans to Coyboys and Indians.
The biggest buzz i get is to encourage people to sculpt thier own figures and to "Have a go" and see thier enjoyment of a job done and the figure world becomes thier oyster.
Good luck and hope to see some more figure's.
Cheers Phil
PS A mans boots can say more about him than his face.

Welcome aboard Phil. I checked out your figures and I must say they are very natural and pleasing to the eye. You will be a big asset to the figure community and a big help to us that are lacking the ability or experience of figure painting. I think that I will be able to learn a thing or forty from your examples.

Ola Phil
It`s really cool to have another sculptor on board. Already enjoyed the pictures of your work that were posted a while ago and I thought that was some extremely good work. I really like the poses of the figs. They show the heavy Duty the soldiers go through.
Definately a good job and I`m looking forward to more of those fantastic creations from your hand.
