Large Scale Diorama Builds

I've been working pretty steadily on two new builds, one is inspired by the Hitchcock film "Life Boat" and the other by Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" and you can read all about them over at the Any How Town blog (see sidebar).
I spend a lot of time watching movies as I build, there's plenty of great ideas that come my way when doing this, the prison set of "the Green Mile" is of particular interest to me and I'm thinking that may be the next one that I begin. Once the "sets" are built the plan is to stage several series of photographs in them for eventual sale as prints.
My constant companion with me during this process is my loyal studio assistant pictured above.
During this time I'll still be taking orders for commissions but I also encourage you to have a look around the blog to see work that is for sale either directly from me or available at the Press Club (850 Dundas West Toronto).
enjoy that wicked wind,
