Been thinking a lot about my dear friend who passed away July 19, 2018. Long live the legend of @jonschnepp. Jon, thank you for sharing your talents, friendship, and your deep passion for art and life! We will continue to spread your magic! This is a sculptural portrait I created of him for the amazing memorial art show that Holly @bettydrapers_fatsuit (his widow) organized for him in 2018. Originally I just wanted to make something as if he was still alive and it would be his birthday gift. I knew he’d love a demon with a badass weapon. I didn’t plan for it to be a portrait, but as the pieces started coming together, surprisingly it started to look like him. Materials: skunk vertebrae for the hips, squirrel paws for the feet, lizard claws for hands, arms, ribs, and spine are bat bones, ermine jaw for mouth, I used a piece of lizard skin for the tongue, coyote vertebrae for the head, frog vertebrate for the forked part of the weapon and sting ray barb as the sword part of the weapon. Garnet eyes. #schneppdemon #averoseart #jonschnepp #oddityart #jonschneppthelegend #jonschnepptribute #bonecollector #sweatynerds #metalocalypse #metalocalypsecreator #kingofsweatynerds https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSDMhMjcFx/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is my dear friend @jonschnepp dancing with the birthday gift I made him May 16, 2014. On the 3rd slide is a sculpture I made of him for his memorial art show in 2018. Today he would have turned 53. Happy birthday buddy. May you forever be chuckling the way you were in this video. To his beloved widow @bettydrapers_fatsuit I love you and I continue to be inspired by your strength. ❤️❤️❤️ #longliveschnepp #chimpnuggetlives #jonschnepp #jonschneppthelegend #sweatynerds #averoseart https://www.instagram.com/p/CARAQ9ZDh3J/?igshid=1742hw15cbg5a

Schnepp Demon Finished! Created a sculptural portrait of my friend @jonschnepp for his memorial art show. Originally I just wanted to make something as if he was still alive and it would be his birthday gift. I knew he’d love a demon with a badass weapon. I didn’t plan for it to be a portrait, but as the pieces started coming together, surprisingly it started to look like him. Materials: skunk atlas vertebrae for the hips, squirrel paws for the feet, lizard claws for hands, arms, ribs, and spine are bat bones, ermine jaw for mouth, I used a piece of lizard skin for the tongue, coyote vertebrae for the head, frog vertebrate for the forked part of the weapon and sting ray barb as the sword part of the weapon. Garnet eyes. Hair is from a wig. Long live the Legend of my dear friend Jon Schnepp. Jon, thank you for sharing your talents, friendship, and your deep passion for art and life!
