Update #23: I know I said I wouldn't update anymore, but.....
There's only 5 days left on my new kickstarter project, which, in all honesty, isn't doing exceedingly well at the moment. So in a last ditch act of stupidity I've decided to offer up free sculptures to the first 100 backers. You don't even have to donate anything (except the minimum of 1 dollar). I'm not saying you're going to get Michaelangelo's David out of the deal, but you will get something cool for free. Also I made a new ridiculous video to go along with it.

Thanks again everybody.
I love you all.

Update #22: A new project from Zac Shavrick
Just to let everyone know I've launched a new project focused around my creatures in the hopes of creating an epic animation. This project rewards all kinds of cool things including T-shirts, newly styled monsters, planter heads, and you can even help me decide on one last backer reward.
Thanks again for everything. You are all awesome.

Update #20: A new video.
Hey guys!
So I'm preparing to launch a brand new project including some wild sculptural planters and a whole host of my usual diabolical creations, but before I launch it I wanted to add a new element to the equation. Yesterday my good friend and photographer Dennis Andreas came by and helped me create a test version of a new animation technique for steel which I've been working on developing. The trial film was a huge success and over the next few days I'll be using this technique to create some wild new videos and even a kickstarter launch video. So check it out (I'm very proud)!
Thanks again for all of your support.
Without further a due here's the clip:

Update #19: The Video! Finally!
I know it's been a long time coming, and I truly apologize for the delay, but the video of the first 100 or so pieces is finally complete. The music is thanks to Alex Dalton Marans' excellent band Gospels and I think it accompanies the video perfectly, so I hope you guys enjoy it!
Also if you still haven't received your sculpture(s) and I haven't spoken to you personally about them, please let me know and I'll let you know their status.
Finally I plan on releasing a new and very different project (because to be honest I'm getting quite exhausted from making so many little sculptures), which I hope to make much more epic in the coming week or two.

My name is Zac Shavrick and I was born in 1987. I've been a metal sculptor essentially since I could walk. I've lived on a farm in upstate NY my whole life, and I learned to sculpt in my fathers metal shop. I've been creating whimsical monsters and creatures ever since. My inspiration is drawn from the chaos of the world around me.
