Hi Im Jody Smith of Overlay Solutions based out of Summerville, SC. I wanted to share this video so that maybe I could help an up and coming artist better their skills. I would not be where I am today without the training that Vertical Artisans has to offer. I became a Vertical Artisan in the early part of 2009 and it changed my entire approach to my projects, my ability to carve and create colorations of pure realism. The videos are full of project details that would take many years to discover out in the field. I still learn something each and every time that I enter the site that is constantly being updated. I highly recommend this training to anyone who has the desire to be one of the best.

Here is some info on the site:
