I also made myself a bass based on the Warmoth Gecko neck. the body is an original design. all tone controls are located on the cavity cover on the rear.

Very cool man. Excellent shading & contrast. Keep up the great work.

What/who are your influences for your style?

i'm influenced more from music, science, and psychology than I am influenced by other artists. :)

salvador dali, michelangelo bounarotti (renaissance), caravaggio (17th century painter), H.R.Giger, uh............ buncha renaissance and baroque stuff.... lots of religious stuff :)

the first piece I posted is actually based off Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Teresa" sculpture located in a chapel in Rome. it's famous for its sexual undertones. i like religious art and blasphemy/satire. :):)

each piece takes a couple months to complete (few hours of work each day, since I have to live on the side, too)

lots of pain in the hands and back :(
