December 1, 2012 - The Godfather

CaliforniaMama · 12-02-2012, 08:15 AM

Today’s offering is a sculpture by Nic Fiddian-Green. It is titled Still Water and lives in London. It is more than 30’ high and the entire thing is sculpted and cast by the artist himself. (I guess most huge-sculpt artists don’t “do” their own work?)

A more fun fact is that the guy gets lifted to the top to clean off the bird droppings all by himself. Now that’s what I call pride in his work.

Found in Modern Met, you can read the rest of the story here.

That's a well planned and executed pic.
... just the right touch of light on the still water round the lips.

That is really nice.

I'm thinking, what the hell is it balancing on it's nose for.

Oh, that's exactly what they look like grazing. DUH

Thanks a lot, whoever ate all the good parts and just left us the head!

I've got no problem with someone just giving me head.

First take: a torso of Priapus.

Not grazing, Bruce - just ready to drink from the cool, still, water.

Ahh It needs the body of a platypus.
