Ecclesiastes 3:1 Virgil Oertle is a graduate of Lyme Academy College of Fine Art, and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he has created unique sculptures of all shapes, sizes and for many purposes. In 2013 he began to focus on unique, branded, mascot benches and sitting areas for fans to interact with the sculptures. There was something about his designs that made the tributes a destination point. His concepts perfectly incorporate the story and character of the parent organization, and are an enduring tribute to each of our beloved masked friends. Cold-cast Bronze or Bonded Bronze, is a less expensive way to make a sculpture. It is a mixture of polyester resin and bronze powder painted onto the surface of the statue to enable the resin to achieve the appearance of bronze. Cold-cast bronze is created by pouring the resin mixture directly into a mold.
