One of the recent work of Preston Jackson has been this Sperm Whale sculpture, on the theme of "Save Our Planet". It's not complete, as yet. I really wanted to see it, in the process of being made. So yesterday, I drove to Peoria, to Preston's studio, to see the work in progress.. I saw Preston work on it... and after sometime, it was time for some fun... Preston Jackson calls this sculpture Moby Dick, the Whale; and tries to be a character from Herman Melville novel.. One with the harpoon..
Preston at work..
Love this scale model of a Sperm Whale. If you are wondering, Yes, It's in Preston Jackson's hands.. He made it, for this sculpture..
The draft..

I have never seen a better Captain Ahab in my life. So much violence in that sweet little face!
