Wild Fire Artistry...Howard Hill
« on: February 05, 2010, 03:24:00 PM »
Been a couple weeks since I posted any pieces because the last couple I have done have either been non-eligible for posting on Tradgang (i.e. gun kills) or were surprises for someone who frequents Tradgang.  Should be able to post that one soon as it should have been given to the person this weekend at the pig gig.

Just started work on this photo of Howard Hill.  Terry Harris, who runs the Howard Hill Southeastern Classic, asked me to do one for the auction he has to benefit the boy scouts who generously allow use of their property for the shoot.  Terry is paying for this one for the auction, but I also donated a custom plaque to be auctioned where the recipient can provide his own pic.  So, if you attend the shoot you will be able to bid on the following piece and/or the custom piece.

Here is the original pic.  Oh, and it is my understanding that Terry got permission from the Howard Hill folks for me to do this plaque and for him to auction it.

 

I am not very far along yet, but here is the current status.

What a talent you have Chip...!

I still want you to do a piece for me.  If all goes well in August I will send a PM when I get home.

Steve,
price varies depending on the size and the photo you want done.  Best thing to do is shoot me an email with a photo you want done and I can tell you exactly what it would cost.

You can email or pm me through tradgang.

You have some serious pryomaniac leaning there with that level of talent burning wood to look like it was airbrushed.  

Good gravy, Gertie, but them skin tones is scary good!

Thanks, Doc!

Here is a little video I found that is related to the carving.  Thought some of you might enjoy it!
