    Default Buying or collecting other's work

    I've been on a box making kick...before our relocation...still working on getting the shop up and running. Darn day job!

    I just picked up this box from Doug Stowe's Etsy site. I thought it would be cool to own a piece by the guy who's inspired me in my woodworking.

    Have any of you ever purchased work from someone you admire or inspires you?

    I do, but to illustrate styles, not so much to focus on an individual or one style.
    I have several Inuit soapstone carvings, some small and simple one very large and complex. I have some stunning digital paintings (Will Enns.com) and some Hurley watercolors. All different sorts of wood carvings, many of which I study to attempt to learn technique and others, like yourself, help with inspiration.
