UPDATE: The Cowboy was stolen from his post in Breck over Memorial Day weekend (the thief took him after breaking the welds he was secured to the platform with). Hoping to have his replacement up within the next week or so. OK, so he doesn’t have a horse. But he’s an authentic, Western cowboy! [...]

In April, I was fortunate to participate in a carving contest in Arkansas featuring some of the best chainsaw carvers from around the U.S. We were charged with creating one piece each day (one Friday, one Saturday) to be auctioned off Sunday. Despite thunder storms and wind, the event was fun and well attended.

I started drawing pictures of fly fishing flies some years ago using water color and pen-and-ink techniques. Had the idea to translate the same style onto wood discs the size of drink coasters to be used either as coasters or as small pieces of wall art…To view more of my pen-and-ink work, click here. [...]

Mark’s a big history buff, so when he had the idea of designing this trio of trees into a scene with an old Indian at his camp, he didn’t want it to be the stereotypical Indian pictured so often in Western art. Instead, he wanted him as he truly may have been – toothless, dressed [...]
