ABRACADABRA!
COMING SOON!!!
Craig Campbell and the National Sculptors' Guild will be placing a new bronze in the Little Rock, Arkansas public art collection, "Abracadabra" will soon add a bit more magic to the area.
This sculpture depicts an aspiring Magician whimsically practicing his tricks for an attentive audience of his dog, a mouse, and a stuffed bunny. My inspiration in creating Abracadabra is as a reminder that there is a power greater than us all and it is important to look for the “magic” in everything. In this piece I set out to create a fun, approachable, engaging monument to the simple joys of life, and the belief that with friends, focus, practice, and perhaps a bit of magic we can overcome all difficulties.
A smile can be contagious! Abracadabra is meant to spread a bit of happiness and hopefully share a smile with all who engage with it.
Follow the process of this Work in Progress Wednesday... http://www.jk-designs-inc.com/.../a-little-bit-of-magic...

Society
2020 - "Elected Sculptor Member"
Massive thanks to National Sculpture Society Fellows and to all who made this possible! I am exceedingly grateful for the honor of being the newest elected member of the National Sculpture Society.
Founded in 1893, the National Sculpture Society (NSS) was the first organization of professional sculptors formed in the United States. The purpose of the organization was to promote the welfare of American sculptors, although its founding members included several renowned architects. The founding members included such well known figures of the day as Daniel Chester French, Augustus St. Gaudens, Richard Morris Hunt, and Stanford White as well as sculptors less familiar today, such as Herbert Adams, Paul W. Bartlett, Karl Bitter, J. Massey Rhind, Attilio Piccirilli, and John Quincy Adams Ward—who served as the first president for the society.
NSS promotes the knowledge of excellence in sculpture inspired by the natural world. Its members create, interpret, exhibit, collect and support the evolving tradition in American sculpture.

Monument Guys
History and art come together at the Crucible Foundry in Norman, Okla. Started in 1999 by brothers Mark and Steve Palmerton, the Crucible's staff helps to bring history to life by creating bronze statues of figures from the past -- whether dead or alive, well-known or forgotten. Led by sculptor Craig Campbell, the team researches, sculpts and casts bronze statues of the historic figures.
