James Parker Sculpture I’m going to remember it for when I buy a home again. I love to sit and watch the fire. With the firebox off the ground, it would be easier to see. Putting the wood up above makes sense and gives an interesting aesthetic.

Great video James. Very interesting to hear how you started down this road. I love the idea that you used to build dry stone walls and obviously use some of those techniques in your art. I’ve often thought that those walls, so skilfully constructed, were works of art in themselves. There is something so pleasing in your organic structures using such hard and resilient materials. If I win the lottery, I’ll definitely be commissioning a sculpture from you

You do beautiful work. It was your brother who told us about you. (the hoof GP) I love his videos and I am looking forward to watching your videos, too. I am from a little bitty town named Freeville New York, United States. The only claim to fame our town has is that there is no other town in the world named Freeville, other than our little piece of heaven in Upstate NY. The region I live is also called Upstate, Finger Lakes region, Central New York and the largest town that is nearby is called Ithaca NY, it is the home of one of the Ivy League Universities called Cornell University, very famous school. This area is also known for some of the BEST wine, ever with loads of beautiful grape vinyards. We, of course, grow apples in NY state. (It is why New York City is called the Big Apple, because of all the apple orchards across the state (there is more to it, but it's about the apples) Anyway, enough about us. I am going to finish watching this video, then watch MORE of your stuff. I honestly do think your work is beautiful. Thank Graeme for the additional people coming to your channel! I came because of Graeme, however I plan on staying, yes subscribing, and watching, because the art is so beautiful. You 2 are very handsome young men!

No - they are not fused.

I was wondering how long a cast of your sculpture last. Would you do unlimited or limited editions of your casts?

A cast in bronze would last thousands of years. I make limited editions. Something big would be a smaller addition than the smaller sculptures.

Hi Karen, check out some of my other videos. Slate, steel, bronze, wood and glass.

Can you take me as an apprentice?

Do you use any 3D design software to aid with your work?

Hi Ryan, No - I've never used anything like that. I wouldn't know where to begin to be honest. Usually just a pen and paper. Often I spend a lot of time thinking through the more complicated forms but I've never used 3d software of any sort.

James Parker Sculpture there are some tools that we use in the 3D modeling world that would totally apply to your workflow. Search KZread for “rhino contour” if you want to see some examples of what I’m referencing.

When my father's legacy goes through probate in 4 months, I am definitely interested in commissioning you for a sculpture. Perhaps if we exchange emails, I can start having conversations with you about my ideas and possible costs.
