Frankenstein’s Monster Re-Imagined In Supersculpey Polymer Clay.

As the old saying goes “There’s more than one way to skin a cat” …or in this case…”There’s more than one way to create an undead creature in an attempt to solve this terminal condition we call life”. Life. The one disease that is guaranteed to end in death 100% of the time. Even as a small child I was always a big fan of the Classic movie monsters(e.g. Nosferatu, The Wolf Man, The Creature From The Black Lagoon) and I think it’s safe to say, at least in my view of the world, that these creatures are just as much a part of American history as Babe Ruth, Charlie Chaplin or…dare I say, Neil Armstrong? Though Mary Shelly’s Monster, that she so generously gave to Doctor Frankenstein hasn’t walked on the moon or even in the real world, the impact he has had on cinema history is unquestionably unparalleled. While coming up with the concept of this sculpture I was thinking about how many times Dr. Frankenstein had tried and failed and what some of those failures may have looked like, or, maybe this was the final monster that brought the demise of the late Doctor Victor Frankenstein…

The whole process for this sculpt took somewhere around 35 hours from aluminum armature to final painted sculpt. I love using SuperScupey clay because it gives you the ability to create a 100% complete one of a kind sculpture that lasts for a very long time. With other clay like Chavant oil based or WED water clay you have a much shorter shelf life unless you mould and cast a resin copy of it.
