keep coming back to certain movies for inspiration, it seems. The Fifth Element is one example, mainly because it's such a visually rich film. This was the first Mangalore I sculpted, in a two-week stint after my computer's hard drive bit the dust. The sculpture is about 1/4 scale, measuring 11 inches tall. This sculpture was stolen from me by an unscrupulous former business partner. It was held hostage for a year, but then it was returned intact. I'm glad to have him back.
