Painting and Sculpture: Polymer Clay - Kodos and Kang

Inspired by the work of my friend Corinne Cupcake, I have ventured into the world of Polymer Clay. My first effort was a sculpture of Kodos and Kang consuming Santa and his reindeer. I based my sculpture on a scene from one of The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” episodes. I then used the sculpture as the basis for the year’s holiday card.

I sculpted Kodos and Kang using Super Sculpey over aluminum foil and wire armatures, painted them with acrylics and sealed them with glossy varnish. I shot the photo with a Canon Rebel and a 50mm lens.
