Catfish project





Here's a little peek into my personal Studio world. We're working on a number of projects at the moment but this one is local. We're creating 20 three-foot long paper mache CATFISH models which are going to be distributed to various artists in Charleston who will then paint them according to their own whims. These finished fish will then hang on Fife Street during FestivALL. These are shots of its creation, from sculpture, to mold, to finished fish. That's my cousin, Travis Morton, working hard cleaning the mold.

Dale, I'm looking forward to seeing the catfish of Fife Street. Your post prompted me to get excited about FestiVALL .

Thanks, Bob! I can't wait to see them myself. We get to paint two of them ourselves but have no idea what the others will look like when finished. Great to hear from you!

I just saw the dailymail article on the catfish. Great job!

Dale said...

Thanks, Scott! You could have knocked me down with a feather when I saw that it was on the front page!

Thanks so much for making the fish!!! My Art Camp kids had a blast painting ours.

I can't wait to see them all on display!

Rebecca, we had a great time making these loving fish. I can't wait to see your plus all the others. You should come up to my Studio some time, I'm sure you would find it fascinating!
