Van Howd Studios

We are honored to be working with the Placer County Sheriff's Office and Council in creating a monument to remember the peace officers who, throughout the history of this county, have given their all to protect our community.

We are incredibly proud of our Hometown Hero! Col. Bud Anderson accomplished so much and he is still so humble. Watch for views of the bronze monument at the start, photos of the monument unveiling near the end, and phenomenal stories directly from Bud throughout this video! We love you, Bud!

Have you been dreaming of an elephant for Christmas? Meet Tusker!

To all of the veterans ~ we are thinking of you and are grateful for the many sacrifices you have made for our freedoms. We look forward to seeing our community come together to honor & support our local VFW this Saturday evening!

A virtual field trip to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum, home of Doug's life-size "Dueling Dinosaurs" monument, is presented in this commercial. Watch for the bronze dinos at 21 seconds and the skeletons it is based off of at 41 seconds. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/nmSj/xeljanz-museum-field-trip

Doug finished sculpting the life-size baby elephant in clay! The next step is mold making.

We are long overdue for a newsletter update! You probably realize by now that Doug is a lover of elephants. With the virus pandemic, the slowdown of normal operations has allowed him to work on some personal projects that have been on the back burner. He is back working on the large life-size elephant that is 13 feet at the shoulders and a life-size baby elephant.
