About "Cheetah Lifesize (Ltd Ed of 10)"

I had just finished a very intense and highly detailed Samurai and was wanting to sculpt a wildlife piece very large, loose and dynamic and then I was commissioned to sculpt this cheetah but I had free reign to do it the way I wanted. I sculpted in water based clay because of its unique qualities. I'm delighted with the result.

About Brandon

Brandon grew up in Johannesburg and always had a very keen interest in animals, keeping all kinds of weird and wonderful pets. At the age of fifteen he moved to Durban where he immediately started working part-time at the Dolphinarium and Snake Park on weekends and holidays. School was little more than an irritation that happened somewhere in a gloomy background and delayed him from getting on with what he wanted to do. After school he spent two years in the army and then worked full time at the Snake Park for six months. Restless and full of wander-lust he resigned and took off for the bush where he was involved in various aspects including a curio venture, game ranging at several private reserves, filming documentaries on lions and hyenas in Botswana and Namibia for National Geographic and the BBC and eventually winding up managing the crocodile farm at Sun City for twelve years.

Feeling stifled and restless again and needing some new excitement he joined a friend in a real estate development in the Kruger National Park. That didn't get off the ground and he found himself back in Johannesburg where he started a small construction company which he's have been running for the lasty five years. Of late he's been focusing more and more on his creative side and ultimately intends to sculpt full-time.
