This project was created as a copy of an original sculpture carved from wood. The original sculpture represents the revered Karate God Busaganashi and rests in the Jundokan Dojo in Okinawa, Japan. This sculpture was created from polymer clay and finished in a faux wood stain and mounted to a marble base. It was commissioned for a Gojo Ryu Historian. I was grateful to be a part of creating such a piece for someone's gift of love. It pleases me to know he is in a good home. You can commission your own Busaganashi sculpture hand made to order. Each piece is based off of the original sculpture, but has its own unique qualities and will be a custom unique museum quality sculpture.

For A custome painting/drawingIt was a awesome experience, my painting by Sophia's Room was a great piece of art and will be the center piece of my office. She really focused on the spirit of my concept and made a piece of art that I will be proud to show off for decades, her dedication to detail is hands down the best I have seen.
I was so happy to have picked Sophia's Room to make this project.

For Steampunk Airship Custom Drawing/PaintingChristine was great to work with. She took my crazy ideas and made them real (or at least as real as a cat driving an airship can be). Great communication throughout the project. Highly recommended.

For Karate God BusaganashiChristina from Sophia's Room was amazing. She kept me abreast of each step of the project she was working on for my husbands special birthday gift. It was the first time I truly found him to be speechless as she took the idea from concept to finished art piece. My husband loves his Busagnashi and is very proud to own this fine piece of art.
