Was going through one of my picture files and figured I might as well throw this shit up, too:
This is a carving I made for a friend's birthday. It looks less bearlike and more catlike in real life, honest.

I absolutely hated this batch of stone. It had little chunks of iron in it, so every time I filed I'd hit one and make all these sparks. Then the iron would come out and I'd have a bigass irritating hole to fix. After I finished this one, I threw the rest of the batch in the closet and swore I wouldn't carve again until I had a decent chunk of alabaster.
I also used to do sidewalk art (although it kind of cemented my place as the neighborhood weirdo). Here's one of my cats:

I also wanted to duplicate this Monet (and no, I don't know why the black spots are in the sun in this pic, it only shows up that way in this forum for some reason):

...but I was a dipshit and placed it wrong, having to draw over a crack:

And then to add insult to injury, it started raining, so the whole thing was really an exercise in futility.

Anyway, that's some other stuff I do.
