I originally created this red lobster sculpture as part of a commission that Pepsi asked me to create as a gift to commemorate their relationship with the Red Lobster restaurant. But before welding it to the Pepsi logo I figured I should photograph it separately as I imagined people might be interested in the lobster sculpture on its own.

The Full Story

I redesigned my larger lobster to be a bit smaller to fit the size parameters Pepsi was going for and I was happy I did because the final size felt really good. Red is not a color I can get with my heat patinas, but I can get this reddish color in the temperature window between gold and purple. When applied across the full piece it often reads as red even though it isn't a true red. I always love making metal lobster sculptures as they lend themselves very well to the material and turn out to have a clean satisfying look!

I've also created other lobster sculptures: Blue Lobster, Pepsi Lobster, Striped Lobster.

This red lobster sculpture is wall hanging, made entirely of stainless steel, colored using only heat patinas, and is safe to be kept outdoors!
