Hi guys, a while back I posted about a new job i was starting, my first public sculpture commission. I had to make a group of giant ants for Longleat House, as an attraction on a train ride. well, 3 months and one almosy amputated finger later it is finished and installed. What a laugh the whole process was, being interviewed by he BBC was nerve wracking, meeting Ben Fogle was even weirder. But we are up and running, I spotted a photo on the Independent on Tuesday which was a surprise. have a look at

and if the link works there we are. My next project is an 8ft tall jazz band for a private customer and there might be a 5m Dragonfly in the pipeline.

On a 'humorous' note, the guys at longleat had heard rumours of the BMW motorbike I bought, the one that puked oil all over me and I got a lucky refund for; so Tommy the boss got one of the gang to tip a small amount of oil under the new bike, and warn me about the oil leak. Rotten sods. I almost fell for it.

Chunko'.
