Mark Newman is a professional sculptor with over 15 years of experience, working primarily as a commercial artist, maquette and model maker, prototype designer for many collectibles & toys companies as well as few game and FX studios.
The picture at the left shows a prototype made for Sideshow Collectibles original "Court Of The Dead" series. Cleo is sculpted in Super Sculpey, 1/4 scale, designed by Tom Jilesen and Mark Newman, concept design by Tom Gilliland.
Besides commercial art projects, Mark works on his fine art bronze sculptures in his studio Mark Newman Sculpture Inc. in California.
As a gesture of respect towards his art, I collected some of his most exquisite commercial sculptures as well as his finest bronzes in this post.

Tuskgee Airman
12" tall sculpture called "Tuckgee Airman" from The Ebony Visions collection, designed by Thomas Blackshear. Sculpted in Super Sculpey Classic/Firm mixture used by many artists for prototyping. The Oxygen mask is sculpted in wax/oil clay with hose made of aluminum wire.

18" tall original sculpture of Gollum, made for Sideshow Collectibles by Mark Newman. Gollum is sculpted in Super Sculpey Classic/Firm mixture. The collectible comes with two swappable torsos, Gollum and Smeagol, both originally sculpted by Mark.
