Bust of Homer Simpson

Century City, California

Bronze on Composite Pedestal

Free donuts for the entire lot in celebration of their 500th episode.

I asked Matt Groening (Homer's creator) to take a bite out of a Kwiki-Mart type donut and ship it to me. It was perfect.
I cast one in bronze for Homer and another in polished stainless steel for Matt.

A 3 inch (?) bronze medallion I made. I've always loved ancient coins and medallions. I couldn't help myself.

Here is a video produced by Fox for the run up to the 500th episode. It features Matt Groening (who discussed the donut-biting request :) ), Jim Brook and Al Jean. Some shots of Richard Becker sculpting and taking Homer through the bronze processes.

This is a fun video we made. Of the making.
