The whole process is interesting to me, I wouldn't leave out any of the steps. Please keep doing what you're doing! Thanks!!
Thank you John!
All of it!
I agree completely. Besides you can always just fast forward. Don't know why you would though.
@@BMSculptures the eye sockets must have been nerve-wracking. No real going back if you removed too much foam.
Adding to a sculpture always seems an easier option to me than removing, as in stone/wood carving
Beautiful and very different end result for this bison 🦬 useing the rubber tyres. Congratulations, it was definitely worth the effort put in, in my eyes.

Without a SHADOW of a doubt, I couldn't care less what it is I watch you make.. every single sculpture made by your hands is **100%** worth watching.
It's amazing to watch you make anything and wish I could have someone like you as a mentor and teacher.
Honestly fella, whatever you do, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.
Just amazing

I think your tire and metal sculptures are the most unique out of all of the artist's videos I watch. The mix of media reminds me of Bobby Dukes, and I love it. However, I am particularly fond of your wood/resin art.
Woodworking!
Kaleidoscope p if comfortability thjkinmkhhhbjiuhh blink😊
Love this piece! ❤ I’m a budding recycled metal artist and marine biologist, and I love the fact that you used recycled materials to make an organic sculpture. So fascinating to see your process and techniques. It inspires me to get back in my shop!
What makes your creations so interesting to watch is that you don't just stick to one method! The switch from metal to epoxy to wood to tires keeps everything fresh and exciting :)
My son is named Blake too. He served in 3 wars tours. Injured in Afghanistan and is a single dad! Seems every Blake that I have everything met are really extraordinary people!!
Your artistry is fantastic in any medium and ever evolving, but it's your creative process that I find most interesting. How you learn things as you go along depending on material interactions or you decide to go in a different direction makes your videos very educational for all us novices out here. Keep up the great work and follow your dreams. We'll keep watching.
Beautiful! The foam taxidermy model was just genius! I bet it saved so much time
me personally woulda liked it more had he made the entire thing by scratch
Where can buy the taxidermy model please?

I find the variety of materials to be part of your sculptures' charm. I suppose I enjoy the wood and epoxy the best, but I love watching them all and seeing what new techniques you'll show us. Love the work and amazing videos!
Amen! ❤️🔥👌🏾💯
It’s hard to choose a favorite. I love the variety of all your works!
Thank you so much!
This was a beautiful majestic piece. I love the wood / resin sculptures but this bison astonished me! Keep working in all your mediums. What an inspired artist you are.
Everything you do is amazing, so keep showings us videos of all of your beautiful work.
Thank-you for sharing it with the world, not just us local Fresno folks.
You’re work and level of detail speaks for itself, rather epoxy or bike tires you nail it every time! Keep up the good work.!!
Thanks Jerry!
I really enjoy the wood and epoxy videos but the tire ones are always a nice treat. This one in particular is freaking bad ass
Love watching you make all of your sculptures!
This is truly amazing Blake, your attention to detail is inspiring and in answer to your question, I prefer working with metal but I am looking at using different materials in the future so the more I'm exposed to, the more I can learn. A healthy mix of mediums is good content for me 😊👍
Amazing! For the staples/nails, perhaps you can use anodized materials. Not sure if they exist for this purpose, but I guess you could DIY it.
You slay both mediums. Nobody gives lifeless tires a song again like you do... but if i had to choose it would be the unparalleled grace and depth of your wood/epoxy creations. God positively dumped talent into you... I'm stoked to see whatever it is you bring to life next!
😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Every sculpture you've done has a very big impact
Keep doing what you're doing. You've made quite an impact on me for sure!! Thanks for all you do for people who are watching how creative you!! ♥️♥️
I am totally amazed at all the work you do. I really enjoy watching your ingenuity in visualizing each one. I'm 100% hooked on your videos. Keep up the excellent work.
GREAT SEEING ENTIRE PROCESS AS YOU HAVE DONE HERE!! Absolutely amazing work!!!! A true artist. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
most of it was done by other trades
Wow, as always, amazing. To be honest, I love watching the process of all the different types of sculptures you do - it keeps it interesting.
Thank you so much 😀
Yes, I agree, all of your types of sculpture are very interesting
Absolutely fantastic!! I love watching you create sculptures. Thanks for sharing
I have to say that I honestly don’t care what type of medium you use. I find the actual thought process, the planing, the correction if a mistake happens, etc. is what I truly enjoy. I love that it always is so much better than what I had pictured in my mind! Love watching you and seeing the final project!!
This is my first time with you, so far your fabulous. I mean I’m damned impressed with the tire sculpture. And I love that your upcycling tires. And I’m a fan of all forms of sculpture so I’m looking forward to following you. Especially since your inspiring me to try my hand at some form of sculpture. Snow, ice, and food have been my only mediums for sculpture thus far.
I actually think the variety between the two types of sculpture is nice. I know that doesn't help much, but I love the epoxy sculptures and the metal/tire sculptures are pretty darn awesome.
Honestly, I like watching ALL your sculpting. So cool! It's pretty awesome you give old bike tires a new purpose. Keep doing what you do best!
Subscribed 👍 You asked what we preferred to watch… mate I will watch all of it. Loved your epoxy and timber whale, 3 legged alligator and now the bison… all absolutely stunning. Love watching your process, trial and error and reveals. Keep up your amazing work.
I love all the different types of sculpture that you do. I wish there were more of them to watch as your talent is a joy to watch.
Been following since you had like 10k followers and I’m always amazed at how detailed and amazing your work is. Dude you deserve all your success. The hard work put in does not go unnoticed. Blake you’re the man!
BREATHTAKING craftsmanship! Truly inspiring.

God has tremendously blessed you in your sculpting skills!!! Everything you make is amazing! Thank you for blessing God!!!
Your process is so amazing to watch. Thanks for letting us see how these creatures are created.
Another epic sculpture. I love watching your art come to life regardless of what materials you are using 💜
The tire sculptures are absolutely mind-blowing. Literally stunned at how well you make feathers and fur look using old tires.
Congratulations. Brilliant work you did it. My baby have only 3 years old loved to watch this video several times. Thank-you so much sir
Both are amazing. Please never stop creating these breathtaking pieces.
You asked a question what we prefer to see. Me myself I like everything you do. You're quite an artist. I am totally Blown Away by your art.
You can make whatever you want or need to make....the process of all your work is fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing the journey of each piece.
All your sculptures are amazing whatever they are built from. A very beautiful bison.
This is the first bike-tire sculpture from you that I've seen since I subscribed! I found the combination of the very different patterns super interesting visually. I think they're both great! The key to longevity on CZcams (may not be true for craftsmanship work like sculpting outside of YT) is to keep expanding and branching out into new avenues of content-making slowly over time, so in my eyes, the more types of stuff you make, the merrier! :)
I like when you make your sculptures anatomically correct, people are prudes. I would like to see you make more sculptures like the bull with that intricate inlayed pattern. That’s labor intensive but so amazing to watch and so breathtaking when it’s finished.
I can’t believe anyone objected to the bison being somewhat anatomically correct. I wouldn’t have removed it Jeez.
The medium used in a project can be anything. It's your ideas and talent that make the videos interesting.
Would love to see it all .. Good, bad, mistakes accomplishments hints and finally a finished work of art. I find it all part of the enjoyment. Thanks for sharing.
All the sculptures that you make are amazing! Just seeing everything come together puts me in aw! Also I'd love to know what the people driving past you or behind you where thinking when they noticed the bison
oh yeah.... I received some very interesting looks!
‘Come’ being the operative word.
Did you try blueing on the staples to see if that worked?
@@BMSculptures well if you really wanted to make it a male you could have done forever round that area like you did the neck kinda like what it shows in that picture and make it a bit more flatter against the stomach since if you noticed in the pictures it's not actually hanging like how you had it the only way you can actually tell their mail from the side is literally that tuft of fur at the end
@@foxo4992 Question: is it male or female?
Your work is awesome, man. To answer your question, I enjoy watching both types of projects. I like your art in general, so I’d watch any style of project.
Thank you so much Ian!
Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
I like watching your process, your work is inspiring. it also helps to see that everything doesn't always workout as planned....but there is always a way around the issue, even when it seems catastrophic.
I really like recycled material crafting videos!! You did such a great job!
Insanely talented. I love watching the entire process!
phenomenal!
my hubby & I have been catching up with some of your older videos. We're both blown away by your talents and really don't mind which medium you choose for your beautiful creations. 😍😍
Amazing work. I like both the wood epoxy and tire sculptures.
New viewer, just found your channel (it was the sculpture of the bear you did recently that caught my eye!). I love watching you work, I don't care what the medium is. The process is fascinating and the results are always outstanding. One request I would make is (where possible) for an after shot of the statue/piece in it's intended location. That would be cool. Thank you for your amazing work!
This thing is too cool! I personally liked the anatomical accuracy but I get it lol 😂 Have you ever tried cold bluing to try and blacken the staples before applying them? I’ve no idea I’d that would work to save painting them.

Blake, I enjoy watching ALL of your sculptures, your talent is
amazing. I tend to favor the resin and wood sculptures. Please continue to share!!!!
All of this are spectacular ,you are a very gifted person, thanks for sharing your talents with us!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got hooked in your epoxy resin videos and you're the only one who I know doing tire sculptures who is really amazing, whatever you do you're really talented even with the video production.
I just love every sculpture you have made. You are an extremely talented artist! I wish I had the money to order a sculpture from you.
All of your sculptures are awesome, love to see them all ❤
any kind of Your sculpture and the process behind them is pleasureful to be watching. Thank You
I probably like the epoxy a little more because of the mix with wood, but both are awesome and I hope you continue to do both. Also, I enjoy the sophomoric humor as well.

I love all of your sculptures!
I’ve seen plenty of bison statues and such out in public with penises, if anything it looks odd without one
We love watching whatever you make!!! I really like the epoxy work but I never thought about using old tires! That was really cool!! You have an amazing talent!
You are an amazing artist , you never forget even the smallest detail . I really enjoy watching you work !
From a european perspective, who is used to quite a lot of anathomically correct horse-sculptures, it is irritating that "this part" is now missing. Other than that, great video and great statue.
Given the rather cavalier mix of plains and wood bison attributes, the lack of genitalia (not much use without a scrotum, anyway...) is the least of its problems.
Female bison look the same as a male bison but without a penis.
Also how is it distracting? Does that mean that's the first place their eyes are going to lol
What part?
@@sauravixvutha4478 he is referring to the missing penis and scrotum.
Amazing work of art. I disagree with removing an anatomically correct part because some people might be too childishly obsessed with it.
Exactly, and how about the male animals in the zoo? What are they gonna do about that?..

It is hard to choose, all your work is awesomw, you have an amazing talent. This buffalo was tremendous, but the Bear (expoy\wood) was a very beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing your art pieces with us all.
Everything I've watched you creat is amazing. Epoxy videos are my favorite most satisfying videos but man using recycled tires like this and just the details... You are inspiring bro. Keep it up, no matter what medium strikes your art. Thank you!!!
Thing looks majestic. Thank you for sharing your talent!
I love your use of materials like foam, you're giving me ideas for projects, thank you! 🦬
Your work is beyond brilliant, if it hasn't made you one of the most renowned sculptors
in the world then there is something wrong. 👍
This was the best most realistic carving I have come across - just amazing detail and skill!
I absolutely appreciate all the sculptures. As I love the variety. Much continued future success.
I like both, but if I have to chose, it’s the epoxy ones. It’s especially fun to see the transformation when the piece goes from WIP to finished shining sculpture.
Thank you for recycling those tires! Your amazing. Great work of art. You’re one of the kind. God bless!
I love to watch all of your sculpture videos, wood and epoxy, to metal, foam and tires. So interesting, and cool to products that you use to create these gorgeous sculptures.
I love ur wood resin sculptures but im more a fan of the insulation/foam sculpting because im actually into that myself and watching you work ur magic gives a lot of tips on how to get better at it and what tools to use so keep em coming it helps me out a lot!
I personally love them all!!!! Thank you!!!! Amazing work!!!!
Always love the idea of recycled material into sculptures, and the (painstaking process) of epoxy into art!
Whatever you decide to do, it will be great to watch! As always, congrats for the amazing job! 😊
The fact that you don’t only do wood work but recycle and weld too. Holy sauce man you are freaking amazing
I like all the different medias that you sculpt in. I draw and carve wood sculptures, and I'm going to get into metalworking. For me it helps when I can figure out what to do next. I really what you do. thanks for sharing.
I like the mixture of watching multiple sorts of styles and materials used. So not a specific one. It depends on the sculpture and what your head wants.
I love seeing all the different ways you sculpt, it’s all very cool and interesting to watch how you create.
Absolutely amazing.
God bless you for your creative gifting.
Dude, you’re just ….in’ awesome!!! Such Straight arms and a bright head you have. Wish you all the best.
Incredible and unbelievable work you’ve done.
I am thoroughly impressed with your talent! Thanks for sharing 😊
I am blown away by the amount of time and effort that you put into your projects. Keep up the good work it is very entertaining and fun to watch!
Keep up the good content
Lots of support!!!
Whatever you create we will watch and admire. You sir, are an artist in every form of the word.
every single reveal shot is moving. it'd be awesome to be able to just see and admire the sculpture after it's completion without the camera constantly panning. this turned out incredible!
I enjoy all your videos, but your epoxy wood sculptures are by far my favorite.
Love everything you do, I especially love when you mix elements.
LOVE watching ALL of your art videos. Keep them coming 😁
You are such an amazing artisan! STUNNING WORK!
I love your work. I enjoy watching both types of sculptures
I just subscribed and I have already watched most every type of sculpting you do, and I love them all! Have been watching all day!🎉
