Dana's Demons
Hand Carved Demon Talismans and fine bone art by Dana Bartlett
Biography :
From birth until present day I've been a Maritime citizen, growing up living in a horse ranch while residing within a small fishing village. Even as a young fellow, I would always be building something with my hands. Not the usual subjects, such as a fucking bird-house or the silly wooden cars powered by co2 cartridges. Instead, I was making Wizard Staffs, Demon Skulls from road kill, or carving castles and keeps, using Durabond 90.
Fast forward about ten years of absolute chaos. 2 marriages later, I began working at a concrete plant. As time passed, my time spent creating would slowly diminish. Another interval of time passed, situations changed as well, and so came the beginning of the next chapter.
My Materials :
The materials used in these pieces are raw materials. Soft and hard-wood burls, "the bones of various animals", copper, lead, silver wire, Tagau Nut, and gold-silver leaf. There are none of the following : machine carved lumber, nails-screws, craft-store trinkets. Dowel is used throughout items such as the "Bone Throne".
All lettering is done in Latin, Runes are of Nordic origin.
