Biggie Buddha

What I did


I wanted to take the Tupac x Biggie idea further by making a sculpture of Biggie Smalls's head on a Laughing Buddha statue.

I have always wanted to produce a sculpture and this proved to be a big learning curve.


After some research I decided the best way to achieve what I had in mind was to first make a clay model, then make a mould of it in order to cast  in plaster.


The final result was not 100% successful but I learnt so much that can only benefit the next step. One of the things I learnt was that the process of making a sculpture is messy!


Eventually I would like to try to cast this in bronze.
