This piece was ultimately based on the design of the Devil Dog from Osaka Popstars. Both my wife & I were invited to make a piece for a group show featuring customized Devil Dogs. The show was held at The Showroom located on the southwestern corner of 2nd Ave & 7th St, here in Manhattan.
I wanted to resculpt the figure in wool using this amazing technique, that my wife showed me. It’s called Dry Felting, & basically your sculpting, using wool fibers instead of a hard clay material.
Using a multi barbed needle, you push the needle into a balled up piece of wool and slowly begin yo shape it. It’s like pointalism in 3D.
It’s truely an amazing technique & my wife’s designs look so fantastic in this style. I thought this character too would look perfect in wool. Classy & antique…..
