Javan rhino sculpture. I am telling a story in all my sculptures and the head position is an important factor in this. What’s going on in this Javan rhino’s life? nickmackman.com/posts/great-… #rhino

Javan rhino sculpture. It’s early days sculpting the world’s rarest rhino. It’s very basic right now but when the detail goes on it will really start to come to life. Stay tuned! Please SHARE and spread Javan rhino awareness. #rhinofriday nickmackman.com

This amazing image of an Iberian Lynx and a flying mouse won young Photographer of the Year for Austrian photographer Josef Stefan. Taken during a two-week stay in Torre de Juan Abad, in Spain's Ciudad Real province. I posted few weeks back but the winner had not been announced.

Fox sculptures 2014. Foxes are a fantastic subject to explore in sculpture; they can look so serene at rest but when they open their eyes…nickmackman.com #fox

Wombat sculpture. I’ve learnt a lot about wombats over the last few days and the most surprising thing to me are their similarities to koalas with their quirky gait and fascinating toes! Stay tuned to see it glazed and finished. nickmackman.com #wombat

Populus, Denver, Colorado. A hotel inspired by aspen trees. Designed by Studio Gang @studiogang , Populus in Denver turns the natural “eyes” of quaking aspen bark into a sculptural façade of deep, organic windows. Opened in 2024, the 265-room tower is presented as the first carbon-positive hotel in the U.S. — pairing a nature-driven architectural language with an ambitious environmental agenda.

Here’s the very start of a #wombat, something I’ve never sculpted before. I’ve done a fair bit of research on this unusual marsupial; its skeleton, how it moves and what its character is like, in order to capture this tenacious critter! Stay tuned! nickmackman.com
