  • This is a big moment for me! I am so happy the universe made me go through with something like this. I am looking forward to make more of these larger sculptures in the future. Thank you all for the support! I appreciate it endlessly.
    Thank you Amodius!

    Wow, the natural cracks gave it an aspect like it was scars, but not necessarily a warrior's battle scars, but something more like life scars, from different experiences, which made it seem like Amodius is really wise, calm and imposing and has a lot to teach us. This is amazing! Thank you for your work and your words!

    You are a credit to the artistic community, your tenacity when you're met with difficulties is absolutely legendary. Your sculptures just continue to get better and better, I didn't even know that was possible because they were already incredible. The fact that you kept the cracks, and didn't attempt to repair them resulted in a STUNNING end. The cracks are as much a part of him as the delicate detail work, good for you for seeing that inside of that log. I genuinely had tears going down my face when you started applying oil. So proud of you Jonas, and honored to watch your journey!

    You're so wholesome and inspiring, I love it. Your work is incredible (as are just the sketches!). And I love how human and honest you are, you admit to making mistakes and learning, and approach it with such a refreshing and pleasant attitude that every setback is just a chance to learn more. Personally, I wouldn't get so anxious about the filming and editing, it's refreshing to see some real working and thought processes, without it being over edited to appear 'perfect for youtube' - in my opinion anyway. I really hope you get the success you deserve.

They always try to fill it in our cut around it or hide it some way when everyone knows that all old wood has imperfections... that's what makes them beautiful. You showcase these and make beautiful art with them. Thank you.

    I remember having the same feeling of trepidation you've talked about (taking commissioned work and not wanting to let the client down) when I started my knife & tool sharpening business. If you're comfortable and confident in your artistic skills, just make sure you discuss everything as much as possible with the client, and give yourself plenty of time to do a good job. Don't set unrealistic deadlines for yourself until you have a feel for how long something will take.

    I’m amazed at your process and the incredible results. I just want to comment on one thing you said about having or creating a “style”: this is a very common thing to worry about for all artists across many different fields. I’ve felt the positive and negative aspects of this motivation throughout the 30-something years I’ve been writing songs, and if I’ve learned anything it’s that as long as you stay true to your motivations to produce your very best, then your own style will form around you. That is, there is no effort needed to steer towards “different for different’s sake” or away from the natural influence from artists or works you admire. The more you can forget about those sorts of pulls and pushes, the more your work will find its own common thread. And for what it’s worth, from what I’ve seen of your work and process so far, you’re absolutely doing it right. Tons of respect mate, really impressive.

    Absolutely love this, the sculpture and the fact that you did not hide the beautiful wood, but instead used the character and enhanced it with the oil finish. For future reference, when building you box bases, look up using wooden dowels instead of screws as "fasteners", I use this technique all the time and along with good glue, it works amazing.

    By the way, your videos are so “instructive” for sculptors… translating from sketch on paper to “sculpted art” is key. Please keep teaching. You are gifted!

      Thank you Iona! It was a joy to make it, But the last 20% of the project was honestly a bit of a struggle since i really felt like starting the next project.
