Been thinking a lot about my dear friend who passed away July 19, 2018. Long live the legend of @jonschnepp. Jon, thank you for sharing your talents, friendship, and your deep passion for art and life! We will continue to spread your magic! This is a sculptural portrait I created of him for the amazing memorial art show that Holly @bettydrapers_fatsuit (his widow) organized for him in 2018. Originally I just wanted to make something as if he was still alive and it would be his birthday gift. I knew he’d love a demon with a badass weapon. I didn’t plan for it to be a portrait, but as the pieces started coming together, surprisingly it started to look like him. Materials: skunk vertebrae for the hips, squirrel paws for the feet, lizard claws for hands, arms, ribs, and spine are bat bones, ermine jaw for mouth, I used a piece of lizard skin for the tongue, coyote vertebrae for the head, frog vertebrate for the forked part of the weapon and sting ray barb as the sword part of the weapon. Garnet eyes. #schneppdemon #averoseart #jonschnepp #oddityart #jonschneppthelegend #jonschnepptribute #bonecollector #sweatynerds #metalocalypse #metalocalypsecreator #kingofsweatynerds https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSDMhMjcFx/?utm_medium=tumblr
