ok, enough whoring....

...time to make some art. I have brought "big nasty" (the nickname I gave this log after it literally gave me a splinter or a sandspur every time I touched it) back to Melanie's (remember the nice Irish girl from Ohio I mentioned a month ago? Well, we're practically living together. She's awesome & I have a feeling we may be together awhile).

Anyhoo, I have big plans for this piece. I haven't been pushing myself as hard as I should lately and that is super lame. I need to make something really good to make myself feel like I'm progressing. This is the piece with which I plan to make myself feel better.

Kanaloa on top, "angry ocean" themed base rough carved, and then painted by my buddy cheeta, complete with sinking ships and skeletons laying on the bottom. A really involved piece with a story and a lot of depth.

Oh yeah, the piece of driftwood behind it is going to be an octopus.
