Just the FAQ’S, Ma’am…

“April, in Toledo”

Behind the scenes following Rush’s April 24th, 1980 Permanent Waves show at the Toledo Sports Arena, a very young Arnold stands camera left for the ladies while trying to prove to an also young Howard Ungerleider, that he did in fact see a real live female in the audience. Howard finally admits there were actually two in attendance on this night. Moral of the story, never argue with Rush’s illustrator of light. He certainly knows how to illuminate the facts and he was right. I was left looking very bewildered, but still feeling vindicated. We all know that women love Rush! 

  • It’s a reasonable question. The sculptures presented on this site are all meticulously handcrafted by the artist and are real. No AI or 3-D printing was used to create these works. Everything you see was hand sculpted by the artist in Monster Clay, then carefully molded and cast using silicone and various metal infused polymers.

  • Unfortunately, no. Not at this time of this writing (April 2026). Each piece is one of one and created for the artists’ personal collection. However, if there is enough interest in the work, it may be possible to offer officially licensed, limited edition copies of selected pieces should permission be granted by the licensor.

    In the meantime please feel free to enjoy and share this site with other like minded Rush Fans. Your feedback is appreciated.

  • Many, many hours. As with any personal artistic endeavor, this was a creative journey with no specific deadline. Each piece was challenging in its own way and lots of fun to make!

  • Absolutely. In fact there is a very elaborate new piece in the works as of February 2026, with more planned as time allows. As you know, Rush has many cool characters and themes just waiting to be brought to life through sculpture!

  • Good catch. I love every era of Rush for different reasons, but my particular favorite period was 1975 - 1981, with a special emphasis on 1976 - 1979 during my high school years. So I thought that was a good place to start. If you look carefully though, you’ll find some Easter eggs and a nod to later periods in the details. Sorry, no spoilers. See if you can spot them.

  • Yes, please do. That is the very reason I decided to publish my work. My hope is that other Rush fans can enjoy it as well. Most of the pieces were made almost ten years ago. With the new tour on the horizon, it seemed like a good time to finally share my work with the public. Each piece was a labor of love, but in the end it’s not as fun if I can’t share the fruits of my labor. Rather than re-posting any of the content off site I would prefer that you simply link back to the site. Please also provide credit to the artist. You can find that info in the about section. Also, don’t forget that the works are both interpretive and also recreations of designs by Rush and Hugh Syme. Please be respectful of the artists rights. (All rights are reserved for the original artists and their respective copyright protections.)

  • At this time there are no plans to show my work in a public setting beyond this site. With Rush going back out on tour, there is a lot of renewed interest in all things Rush. So I am willing to leave that possibility open. Please feel free to use the feedback form if you have any suggestions.

  • Not usually. These days I just sculpt for personal enjoyment. If the right project came along though, I would consider it if time allows. Please keep in mind that this type of work is very labor intensive and can take many hours to complete. Depending on the subject matter, it’s not usually a fast process.
