Mighty Midland Mantis Complete


Completed Mantis Sculpture

Completed a 5 ½ foot tall praying mantis sculpture for the 2013 Summer Sculpture Series Downtown Midland. 

The big guy will be delivered this week and all things considered it was a very fun project. The “Mighty Midland Mantis” was constructed from ½ inch pieces of plywood that were designed to fit together using minimum hardware. 

The project was very much like assembling a large wood puzzle. 


Miniature version of the concept.
