Incomplete Submissions without all the information below may not be considered. Especially important is to include contact methods.
STEPS TO SUBMIT:
- Select scale (notice I cannot paint micros) ;)
- Next Fill Out Comment form with name, and each of the below
- $bid amount for paint job commission on one of my resins or sculpts I've done for Breyer (remember there will be 35% down, 65% due upon completion)
- $bid amount for resin if it’s not your copy (if applicable) or say “have my own copy”, I only can provide a few spares (payment required up front) from any edition that isn't currently open. Prepping will be extra tbd.
- COLOR and shade in a few words. Suggest telling me if you want a precise color or super realistic or are you interested in total artistic license?
- When will be it be ready for painting.
- Is it Prepped? (will want a close up photo)
- Your likely timeframe to pay off 65% balance of bid.
- Email and any other preferred contact means.
LAST: Checkout – the “Commission Me Bid” Item has no value assigned, nor weight, you shouldn’t have any cost at checkout – let me know if international orders have a problem (write to artbymorgen@Yahoo.com)
MULTIPLE BIDS (keep in mind though I need to know what your priority is)
You can submit more than 1 idea for more than 1 resin/model/medallion if you have multiples. Please note I do NOT have a copy of most of my sculptures for this offer so it will need to be your own unless I have a spare (specified on my mailing list.)
Please take your time thinking about it.
I am going to really fill up my books with care. A LOT of small projects may be easier and must be done carefully but it’s how I’ve rolled best in the past. Tips on what won't appeal to me at all have been sent to my mailing list in a notice. This item may disappear if I find myself overwhelmed all the same, even though I really am looking to keep a steady flow of weekly work all year.

About the drinking mare Xlurpie:
It's pronounced SLURPY yes. ;)
This is an offering for a white hollow cast resin traditional (1:9 scale) model depicted wading in and drinking water.
Like many recent sculptures there are no plans to date to shrink her to other scales. Maybe down the road in several years, I've cleaned enough tiny prints for production and would like a break for my eyes now. I might revisit this but nothing is in the works here. Plus she's already a derivative of a previous sculpture!
Gallery of her creation to come here but she is a derivative sculpture of an older resin I've completely reworked. We only half jokingly ripped this resin to bits on a live stream in 2021.. it was a well planned bunch of cuts since I knew I'd be remaking this one. I've long been obsessed with horses in water and found the perfect candidate in my older Kiger mustang stallion (El Embosco). Still this new sculpt is of a mare with longer and more rectangular build, so I removed and squished a lot around with heat. Her head and neck, mane and tail etc, are totally recreated, other parts of her were squished around and then the surfaces totally resculpted; the shoulders cut down and chest narrowed/pinched in, I've changed her leg positions some even and added a smidge to her back length and just generally played with and modified every surface of her.
In progress videos coming to social media pages soon!
This Sweet Mare is also Super DIY Friendly:
From my newsletter (see signup below) I wanted to take a second here to point out that I did all of my photographing on very affordable easily accessible materials: a round mirror and 2 different Cricut type material vinyl (chrome color, my favorite, gave the best water with a hint of ripple, but I also loved a shiny black). Ea of those cost less than $15ea and are available at most chain hobby stores. I felt it important to provide pictures using ALL of these options and when the 2 add-on actual resin base water options are complete with pictures those will be added later this month. Other options I loved are glass bathroom shelves in smokey black with square edges without hardware attached are a LOVELY solution (a bit long for some folk’s shelves but really look lovely!). Then of course there are so many DIY solutions with affordable pourable long curing resins (not practical for larger production volumes) and there are tons of videos that have been created these last couple of years.. SO (!) :) I have no concerns that people will have no shortage of DIY ideas!! So it was important for me to to make sure she could be sold alone and possibly pass some savings on to you creative folks!
