This looks horrible! ... just kidding. Your work is amazing mike. Before seeing some of your projects I didnt know carving could be taken to this level. Definitely gonna try lichens on my next carve.

Once again, let's take a look at the old pictures and find this kind of stuff.

Mike, actually I'm wondering how you'll be able to visualize this kind of project.

This is amazing!

Thanks EsaRi, honestly Ive done so much of this style of rock that I just put it in auto pilot and go. I can pretty much guarantee I'm daydreaming about something other than the rock in front of me lol.
