No toilet seat heater, eh?

Leunig ,if you do your art quick and get it out there ,some of his work are just great and make you think,some of it go over my head

Charles Ray’s hulking new sculpture—thirty-two feet long and ten years in the making—is based on a decaying, hollowed-out log the artist happened upon off Highway 1 on California’s central coast. Casting about for a way to reanimate the log, Ray traveled to Japan to consult Yuboku Mukoyoshi, a master wood-carver from Osaka. Returning to his studio, Ray cut the timber into hundreds of pieces and took silicone molds of each section. These molds were then shipped to Japan, where Mukoyoshi and his team reproduced each segment in carved Hinoki cypress.

Yeah I know what ya mean SPIRIT, but he does it in such a good way. How's your hand carving going?

I don't know about the sculpture (your picture does not have enough detail ), but it is certainly a wealth redistribution project. Who is paying for the ten year's labour of the team? I would also be very interested in the details to assess the money laundering opportunities... Does anybody know good sculptors in the Cayman Islands? I could consider buying some of their art...
