Originally Published on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Teddy Roosevelt always seemed to me to be an excellent character to make a caricature of, especially in his role as a Rough Rider. After searching through all the available photos on the web I found the one I posted in the gallery that I’m using as a…

Painting Okie Joe! Part 1
Well, Judy is up at the house recovering from a wild couple of weeks so I’m winging it down at the shop with the video camera. I hope you can stand an old man not cut out for the stage, screen, or videos while he fumbles his way through this production. So here it is…Part…
Okie Joe
It’s been a while but I actually managed to finished this Cowboy. Since the end of 2019 and the beginning of the worldwide infection by the Chinese plague, my desire to carve has been a real struggle. Hopefully, that’s finally behind me with this little fella. He still needs some paint and a lariat but…
Buxom Biscuits – Pillsbury’s Best
Saturday, May 24, 2008 Now I would say that those biscuits definitely had the correct measure of Baking Powder! So light….so fluffy…certainly different that the one’s Mom used to make! And no….I’m not going to share the recipe! –As I said earlier, not to many caricature carvers try to portray the fairer sex except when they…
Buxom Biscuits
Here she is! This one has taken me a little longer to produce as I really wanted to get the figure just right. While the anatomy is somewhat exaggerated I still wanted them to be soft, nicely rounded and tasteful. I also worked to make sure the figure was balanced even with those bodacious ta-ta’s….
Beer-Thirty
May 7, 2008 Here’s a figure I did a while back that I don’t think I’ve posted before. I had a lot of fun carving him but the most enjoyment was collecting and disposing of the reference material. I made the six-pack carton out of metal and then individually carved the bottles. To make them…
The Wife’s New Horse
Saturday, May 03, 2008 Since Judy’s first horse Sugar foundered just after the big ice storm last year and had to be put down we’ve been on the lookout for a new one. Finally, after almost two years I think we’ve found one.– Misty is a 7 year old registered paint mare and measures about…
Granny Gets A Tattoo – Finished!
Wednesday, May 07, 2008 Finally!!! This thing has really been a chore to finish. The carving part was easy compared to the shop front and all that lettering. Ever tried to letter backwards on a piece of clear Lexan? I don’t recommend it!–I think it’s a nice little scene…an unusual one. It’s not so funny…
Granny Gets A Tattoo!
Now, if this works out it will be a really funny scene. Granny is standing out in front of the local Tattoo Parlour contemplating the “Today’s Special”. I know what that special will be but won’t give it away until I get the building built. Granny has her umbrella, her purse and you’ll note that…
The Texas Skip – Finished!
April 23, 2008 I put the finishing touches on this fella today. I must say that he turned out really well. I only had to epoxy the wire rope into his left hand as it fit just perfect in his right. I was hoping for that as when people touch it, even though you tell them…
