Woodcarving, Painting, and Sculpture. I love all aspects of Art and I am constantly learning.
About Me
- Tom Philipps
- I love all kinds of art. There are so many mediums to I have yet to explore and I find each one challenging and rewarding. I wish I had more time for it all. My family and job keep me busy, but I try to set aside time when I can, not only for the simple enjoyment, but also to continue to develop as an artist. I have two boys who are nearing college, and I try to spend as much time with them as I can. They are the most important thing in my life. I also love nature and the outdoors, I can often be found fishing, hunting, or just hanging out in the beautiful outdoors that God has given us.

Caricature Carving
I consider myself somewhat of a "Serial Hobbyist". I spend money on woodcarving tools and start woodcarving projects I don't finish. I spend money on drawing paper and expensive Prisma-Colored pencils and then do a few drawings and they go on the shelf. I just wish I could focus on one thing. I seem to be pretty good a most things....but want to be an expert at everything.
This week, I have gotten back into my woodcarving. I am interested especially in carving figures. There are some pretty cool caricature carvings out there. I have been watching videos on YouTube and other Internet sites on techniques. It is amazing what you can learn from these videos. I carved the traditional hillbilly and dogs the other night. If I can figure out how to post the pictures of them, I will do so in short order. Well, that's all for now....just getting this thing off the ground.
