Hey guys!! Been doing some thinking lately in regards to my carving and decided that I want to try a new approach. Carving the realistic stuff has been my life for the past 27yrs and it pays the bills but I want to try something new. Stuff like you guys are doing more animated projects. Was wondering what you guys thought would be a good project to start with?

Since your an experienced carver, I would suggest you think of a situation or event that strikes your fancy and use your imagination to develop the carving.

Really think about what your trying to "say" and then think about how you want to emphasize or exagerate the theme.

I think you'll enjoy the creative process!
