Bryan recently presented a bust he has completed as a tribute to local MP David Amess to his friend the recently appointed mayor of Southend-On-Sea, Cllr Stephen Habermel. The sculpture will be displayed at Porters, the Civic House and Mayor’s Parlour.
David Amess helped Bryan obtain a Union Jack from the House Of Commons to be flown at Cody Park, North Platte, Nebraska along with his life size sculpture of William ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody.
One of my new clients asked me if I could create a 9 ct. gold leaf covered trilby hat as a tribute to a variety of Hollywood Movie Stars who would have worn similar hats in films and different productions over the years.
I have now completed the hat which you can see here on its stand.
Please contact me if you would like a quote for a sculpture commission. I am able to work in a variety of materials.
After many years of working on different busts and statues for various people in the U.K. and the United States, and completing a life-size statue of William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), which was unveiled at the American Embassy in London and now stands in Cody Park, North Platte, Nebraska, I have now completed a life-size bust of William F. Cody covered in 9 ct. gold leaf.
Bryan is also a skilled costumer and something of an expert on Native American and Wild West costume. He has supplied costumes and props for many films and TV shows including The Last Of The Mohicans. Some years ago he made costumes for the models of Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull at Madame Tussauds New York. He was recently asked to do some restoration work on the Sitting Bull costume. Here is a picture of the original waxwork with authentic costume as copied from photos supplied by a museum in Denver, Colorado.
