The world’s largest collection of mining related bronze sculptures

Gary Prazen & Danny Blanton

World-renowned artist, Gary Prazen, founded Original Creations, Inc. in 1980. His first bronze sculpture was that of the late John Wayne. This sculpture launched Gary into sculpting full-time. Although western statues were popular at the time, Gary decided to focus on the mining industry with his artwork.

In 2000, Gary hired Danny Blanton. Since joining the business, Danny has grown the business to include many markets and has created his own artwork to add to our growing collection. Danny is a talented artist who has won many awards. In 2013, Danny purchased the business.

Although Gary passed away in 2016, Original Creations, Inc. continues to operate and offer unique gifts and awards to many industries throughout the world, and it does so with a unique focus on superior customer satisfaction. We are very happy to be celebrating our 44th year in business!
