Cold Cast Bronze Mouse Artist's Little Helper by Michael Simpson - Hand Painted 263BR
All the great artists need a little helper, and this mouse certainly has a creative streak! Sculptor Michael Simpson has created this endearing design with our friendly mouse sitting upon a realistic tube of the finest artist's oils. Cast in resin bronze, the mouse is skillfully hand painted and the paint tube subtly highlighted with gold pigment.

Although Mick studied fine art at Staffordshire Polytechnic it was the traditions of his home town of Stoke-on-Trent which inspired his love for sculpture. The famous towns forming the region have created some of the worlds finest works and respect for the craft of the sculptor and designer is well deserved.
There are few modellers who can produce accurate and detailed studies covering such diverse subjects as dogs, cats, African wildlife and the female form. Mick is one of the few who can achieve this goal working from reference books, his own drawings, photographs and observation. Like so many artists and sculptors, his studio walls are covered in this reference.Mick is unusual in another way in that he is one of the few sculptors preferring to model in clay. Mostly wax is used for its versatility but Mick loves the freedom clay offers and is quite content to work around its limitations.
