Welcome Hannnah Ahn

We would like to welcome Hannah Ahn to the office of Bridgette Mongeon Fine Art Sculpture and the office of God's Word Collectible sculptures. Hannah will be working as a public relations and marketing intern for both companies. Hannah has a BS in communications studies, corporate communications and a concentration in Business from the University of Texas at Austin.

We are especially glad that she appreciates that every day is dog day in our offices. Hannah will be working with both the marketing and public relations of both companies as well as my writing and speaking engagement. Her challenge will be to learn to juggle everything that I do.

I'd like to personally thank the PUblic Relations Sociey of America- Houston Chapter. I posted the need for an intern on their job board and I had many qualified applicants. We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Hannah.

A beautiful subject for the book that we are writing.

My husband and I have been contracted by Focal Press to create a book titled Digital Sculpting with Mudbox: Essential Tools and Techniques For Artists.

I will be creating a portrait of this beautiful little girl digitally for the book.

I am also creating her traditionally in a water based clay and documenting the entire process. I will be making that video into an instructional video on sculpting a likeness that will be for sale on this website. My new intern Elizabeth is also creating the sculpture along with me, which is helpful because she is new to sculpting and I am taking note to my instructions to her as well as her many questions. I expect the video to be ready at the end of the year. The book Digital Sculpting with Mudbox: Essential Tools and Techniques For Artists is not expected out until next year.

New article- Milling- An Additional Tool of Advanced Technology For the Traditional Sculptor

My new article Milling an Additional Tool of Advanced Technology for the Traditional Sculptor is up at the Best of Artist and Artisan's Sculpture Blog.

Happy New Year

The studio has been quiet over the holidays as we spent time with family and friends. We had a Posada at the studio inviting friends and neighbors. A posada is a Mexican tradition of going to a different house each night for 7 nights. two people are dressed as Mary and Joseph and ask for lodging, which is done through singing. Several people stood outside the studio door and sang while others were inside signing back. In the end we all eat. It was a cold night.

The posada went well, and part of me wishes we would have also had an upside down Christmas Party as we have in the past. Maybe next year.

New Years was spent in New York/Niagara Falls with family and friends. Now it is back to work as commissions need to be completed and we have a deadline on the new book that we are writing about Digital sculpting with Mudbox.


There are great adventures planned with the God's Word Collectible series as well. And I am really looking forward to our Inspirations/Generations podcasts. A new one is up on New Years Resolutions. May you all have a wonderful and creative New Year.

Take a good look at the person helping to serve. That is Elizabeth, a new apprentice. You may be seeing quite a bit of her on this blog.
