Where Does The Time Go?

Wow time flies when you are having fun! We have been incredibly busy here at the studio and thankfully much to show for it!

Our main project "Terminus" has gone through an amazing journey and has finally been returned to us cast in stainless steel. We are very proud of it and looking though the pictures below, you can see all of the effort that went into bringing this project to fruition.

After many (many!) hours of sculpting, it was time to make the mold. To do this, we needed to remove the arms and legs and let the mold makers come in and begin the weeks long process.





With the mold made, it was then crated up and sent to Colorado to be cast in stainless steel. During the process, Marty visited the studio to watch them work.





With the casting done, "Terminus" took a long ride and arrived at our front door. The driver said he got a lot of funny looks driving down the highway.

When it came time to install, we loaded him back up and drove him to the site. The instillation required "Terminus" to raised 4 stories in order to be placed in the base. The crane team prepped for flight and raised "Terminus" upward and into position.













This final picture shows "Terminus" covered and it will remain covered until its official unveiling. The date is a little ways off but we will be sure to make a post with all the details!



"Terminus" has been our main focus here at the studio but we have many exciting events planned for the near future and we will make sure another six months does not go by before another update!

Thank You and Take care,
Cherrylion

Welcome to the official blog site of Cherrylion Studios. This studio is owned and run by the world famous sculptor Martin Dawe and his young apprentice Kevin Chambers. Located in the heart of Atlanta, Cherrylion Studios performs a number of amazing feats. From larger than life figurative sculpture to resin casts the size of a playing card, we run the art gamut and keep on truckin.

This blog will feature photos and fun from all of our latest commissions and hopefully give you a little peak into the crazy minds of our sculpting genius:)

The image above is just a little taste of our biggest project in the studio right now. It's called "TERMINUS" and it's a 12' tall figure that will be cast in stainless steel and placed in the center of Buckhead Atlanta at the complex at Peachtree and Piedmont late in 2009. We like to have a little fun here in the studio, and we're not afraid to show it:)

Please feel free to link us to your blogs and return often for frequent updates.

Marty and Kevin
