# About me

I love creatures, characters, monsters and spirits. I like to think of each of my sculptures as a glimpse into an untold story, with the task of completion left to the viewer.

I began sculpting in the early 90s. With the help of a few favorite books, I developed a mixed media sculpture style that makes heavy use of glued cloth and epoxy sculpting compounds. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, my work has been shown in galleries in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Sacramento.

In the late 90s my focus shifted from physcial sculpture to 3D computer graphics. In 2001 I was hired as a character technical director (digital puppet maker) at PDI/Dreamworks. My movie credits include How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2, Rise of the Guardians, Shrek 2 & 3, Madagascar 1 & 2, Puss in Boots 2, and The Bee Movie.

My interest has now shifted back to physical sculpture and I look forward to sharing new creations regularly.

Hello i just love your sculptures just have to ask you can you use these pictures as stock pictures and use them in photoshop compositing? Of course I will link your page and the man behind the sculptures to you.

Thanks in advance Jonathan Björk Pozo

...for me trains have something nostalgic, and somehow they are like time machines... in a short distance you can travel through a whole life cycle.

Your work is amazing and so creative. It amazes me how prolific you are at turning out awesome works of art. How many pieces do you complete a week?

DugStanat In reply to SABI-HOBBY [2016-08-12 18:27:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I create for a living, so I work every day. There is not set schedule for how many pieces I finish, but I do a lot of small things so people who don't have thousands of dollars can afford something. On average I probably make 3 things a week.

I am very grateful to you for faving JEREMIAH KAUFFMAN- HIS WORLD OF ART! The work is in progress and many things are yet to be added- but I had to start- even if there is much to be done. I hope that you will visit from time to time, as it is being added to. It is so important that you, more than anyone, looks at his work! It is a wonderful honor to him and I am extremely grateful to you! thank you!

Hello Mr. Stanat- I've been having some problems with my computer and I accidently deleted the JEREMIAH KAUFFMAN- HIS WORLD OF ART deviation. So if you want to see it , you can find the same thing on Jeremiah's profile page- it is the journal entry at the top of the page with the same title- I hope you will visit from time to time! Thank you!
