jimmytavino 16 #53 February 11, 2012 Fantastic !! i've been viewing this thread for a while.. What Nice work you do.. THAT's creativity.. right there!!! the flowing beards , the faces. the depth to every piece ! Very Good. it's a good point, about keeping your abilities to yourself for the time being AND about Upping the " Time to create " element.. It's amazing , if you can go from start to finish in ONE session. steveorino .. Are you good at regular Drawing and artistry on paper or canvas. ? are you a skilled tradesman with the tools and know to step into carving? For how many years ?? have you been accomplishing this sort or work?? continued success jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #54 February 11, 2012 I have been cartooning professionally since 1984. I have sold to Sat Eve Post, TV Guide, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes & Gardens, Parachutist, Skydiving, Ebony, and 100s of other smaller magazines. I have also illustrated many books. As far as carving I'm a newb (started last February when we weren't skydiving). I don't even know how to properly sharpen my tools. I've read and watched plenty of videos on the matter but I'm such as kinesthetic learner, I'm not sure I quite get it. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #55 February 11, 2012 wellll your cartooning talent certainly translates well to your wood working art.. as for knowing how "to sharpen my tools"... HELL !! brother.. push your prices by 50 % and simply Buy NEW tools!!!!!or... get what you need in the way of abrasives or oil stones or a high speed spinner/grinder and give it try...you'll pick it up.. fast... thanks for the reply. jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
