The “Inner Sconologue” is like an inner monologue, but in a separate tongue than your mother tongue. It means that, while there are conversations going on in your head, you can’t really understand them. True story. It’s also a sculpture I did for my sister Kristin, which was started when she was pregnant with [...] Create an Inspirational Vector Political Poster just like Shepard Fairey. [ Do you realize how many different ways there are to spell Shepard? ]
Bridge complete! Standing on the bridge are the directors, organizers, and instructors, from left to right: Alexandra Morosco; Nathen Blackwell; Russ Beardsley; Peter Attila Andrusko; Patrick McAfee; John Fisher; Scott Hackney; Keith Phillips; David P. Miller; Sabah al Dhaher; RIch Hestekind; Bobby Watt. The arch barrel approaches completeness
Stone Bridge This is one of the projects we’re working on at Stonefest’08. This will be a drystone bridge with a four foot arch. The stones leading up to the bridge are a limestone and a dream to work with. The stones in the arch are utter crap: they split lengthwise when you don’t [...] Normally I’d consider this “cheating”, but I imagine there are some applications for this that just aren’t possible with normal (manual) carving. At $1899 it brings CNC into the realm of possibility for the average joe… but like anything that makes it easy for the average joe to get into areas that were normally [...]
I can’t believe this product a) actually exists, and b) has this box art. I had to buy one just to scan it in. [PS: the product tastes terrible, about what you’d expect.] …but someone fell fast asleep on the couch today. Introducing the Craftsman CompuCarve Computer-Controlled Compact Woodworking Machine. Normally I’d consider this “cheating”, but I imagine there are some applications for this that just aren’t possible with normal (manual) carving. At $1899 it brings CNC into the realm of possibility for the average joe… but like anything that makes it easy for the average joe [...] There’s something about a phrase that’s carved in stone that makes it somehow “permanent”. It also lends an air of legitimacy that is otherwise lacking. That’s why this list of Latin Phrases is especially useful for carvers and graffitists alike. Raptus regaliterRoyally screwed Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitioneI’m not interested in your [...] Spiders have eyebrows… who knew!?Jake is still drawing a lot, adding bits and pieces as he goes. Today he added eyebrows to his happy spider to denote more emotion. He’s very industrious with his drawing, concentrating on his pictures to the exclusion of everything else until he’s done — including his daddy telling him he [...] For stone there’s a need to have sharp chisels, but you don’t need them nearly as sharp as you need your wood carving knives. For this, the “Chipping Away Ultimate Power Honer” is quite impressive. It’s quite fairly priced at $242.95, fair considering that for me to buy all the metal parts myself would run [...] This is Jake’s rendition of the family, from right to left: Mommy, Duncan, Daddy, and Jake.Apparently Daddy has 3 eyes, and Mommy has scary hair.Also today, Jake counted up to 118 all by himself. I love this boy! [...] Not only does Jake draw some really cool pictures, but he also imbues them with a sense of humor and detail that astounds me.This one is a ghost that’s sticking his tongue out, with the moon and stars in the background. Apparently it’s a teenage ghost as you can tell from the spots on his [...] This absolutely floored me. This morning Jake asked to have the markers so he could do some drawing. I asked him what he wanted to draw and he said “Spiders!”I turned away for a minute, then he called out “look at my spider!”This is his drawing. On the left is the happy spider, and on [...] The photo doesn’t do it justice, or at least that’s my excuse for why it doesn’t look precisely like Duncan, but it’s the first face I’ve ever carved that is supposed to look like someone.I’ve done an outline engraving of Jacob, but it wasn’t in relief. In relief, I have to pay attention to how [...]
Here’s Giraffe in Progress Actually it’s a zoo full of animals, guess which is the odd one out? |
