Do you need sculpture to immortalize someone you love? Or maybe you need a sculpt for a stop motion puppet? Perhaps you need a digital character for a game you invented? Marc Spess can make you a sculpt from your designs. Marc has done work for the Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers, Disney's Sweet Tart candies, and more recently for clients who wanted full sized portraits.

Marc has extensive experience using polymer, water based WED and oil based clay. I also have experience in all scales from tiny to full sized, real and digital.

Marc has made sculptures for clients interested in capturing the likenesses of celebrities for public display such as the famous Gary Garabedian display in Bronx NY.

Testimonial for a clay puppet job: Marc was efficient at giving me the adequate information for shipping prices and times and such and when the puppet finally arrived, I was overwhelmed to find that he had packaged everything so well. He had taken care to wrap all areas of the puppet such as the limbs and head and nothing was damaged at all. Marc had also sculpted some replacement mouths, which were in fine condition and that looked really pleasing when used as an addition to my puppet. So far, he has given me advice from his experiences for animating the clay puppet and I have taken it all into account. ~ Anthony Michael Abdy: antscartoons at hotmail.com

I have four 3-D printers and also use Shapeways as a service to meet the specific needs you may have.

To make your sculpture I will need a few things from you....

- A detailed drawing of the front and side of your sculpture if possible. The more detail in the drawing and description - the better the sculpt will look.

- The dimensions of your sculpt

Contract alterations: On big jobs revision fee's may apply to any changes done that are not in the original reference drawings or written agreements.

Do you need a complete puppet?

- The more complex, the more time and money a project takes.

- A Laika style puppet with intricate replacements, clothing and ball and socket armature could take many weeks to many months.

- A simple clay puppet like Gumby could take a week to make.

- I will try to work within your budget and deadline as best as I can.

- Knowing what you want ahead of time will instruct me on what needs to be made. For example, will the puppet talk, have action scenes or have many expressions?

- Materials, time, revisions and shipping are also expenses that have to be accounted for.
