“When I started hand-making polymer clay art dolls and pulling in all of these early influences that have stuck with me, I realized that I could make my sketches come to life, feel more like a complete reality than I ever could with two-dimensional art,” Friant shared. “I’ve had numerous sketches similar to the image I created for my Captain Ahab piece, Ode to Obsession, for years. I’ve been intending to make a Captain Ahab portrait and actually read Herman Melville’s Moby Dick for years.”

After reading the book, the artist was inspired to make a Moby Dick-inspired art dolls.

BLUE or GREY? Swipe to help me decide which sky color's a better fit for this piece! I'm refining the final image for a limited and open edition run of Capt. Ahab prints and I wanted to see what the fine people of Instagram had to say. Which to you prefer and why? 🐳. ⠀ I think the grey hits the correct somber mood of our doomed Captain Ahab, but the blue's more visually striking. I'd love to know what you think. If you're interested in owning one of these limited edition prints, only 25 of them will be made and the open edition prints will be on sale through May 31st. You can find them through my link in bio. ⚓.

Captain Ahab and I've been spending some time together aboard the Pequod! The build for the Capt. Ahab sculpture's completed as is most of the set for the finished illustration- I just have to pick-up a few more supplies and it'll be time for the photo shoot. If you look at the background, you might get hints of some elements of the final art. ⠀ Aside from his iconic whalebone peg leg, Herman Melville's original Ahab's described as having a scorched face, grey hair, and a scar that runs the length of his face and body, which I wanted to capture in my interpretation. ⠀ ⠀ #captahab #hermanmelville #nauticalart #captainahab #ahab #martime #mobydick #maritimer #215art #maritimes #nautical #nantucketer #maritimehistory #nantucket #beautifulbizarre #froud #artdoll #beautifulbizare #lorepodcast #classiclit #beautifulbizarremagazine #brianfroud #phillyartists #phillyart #philaart #215art #paartist #classicliterature

I've a habit of sculpting characters with sharp, angular features, and large, pointy noses, and my Captain Ahab sculpt's no exception. I was really hoping to capture the stark raving madness that seeths just below the surface as Ahab stares out at the world. ⠀ When I get this character done and the video edited, I'll upload an extended process video to YouTube and I'm also planning on doing a finished illustration with the Captain Ahab figure. ⠀ Music Credits: "The Path of the Goblin King" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ ⠀ #hermanmelville #captahab #maritime #artdoll #mobydick #215art #captainahab #ahab #artdolls #maritimehistory #maritimes #maritimer #nauticalart #nautical
