Default Gargac Bust.
Hi, I've been working on one of those Indian busts that were in WCI by Mark Gargac in issue #38.
Man that guy is amazing. He can really but life and caricature into wood. Here's my first attempt at one of his projects. I've got a way to go on it but it's been fun so far.

Hi Gergie, agree with the rest of the gang your doing great. I'm working on a Gargac 'Wizard' right now. He's is a fantasic teacher, if you ever have an opportunity to take a class from him DO IT, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
