Chowder Hut Crab Statue

In 2024, I was asked by Boudin Bakery to create a 3D model of a crab for their restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf.

I began by creating a very basic concept for Boudin to approve. It also served as a roadmap for me so I could create the crab correctly for the manufacturer “Impressive Sign and Display” to print and paint. After the model was created with Zbrush, I then did a color callout to make sure that the paint they picked matched the restaurant’s logo as well as my vision for the crab.

The crab, which I affectionately named Linus during his creation, debuted on the wharf in November of 2024.
