This is Sharon’s watercolour of an exquisite ivory and bronze bust by Charles van der Stappen c. 1897 entitled “The Mysterious Sphinx”. Coolest sculpture ever (except for the ivory part of course).

Sharon makes another attempt at painting the french medallion Marianne. This is the 2nd watercolour attempt, plus one was created with conte crayons.

It’s been years since I’ve done any “real” art, since digital graphics has been my job. Thought I’d like to have a go at a watercolour. Let me know what you think.

Check out Clive being interviewed by Jiggy TV Host, Julia Rhodes . Julia and Domenico Cutrupi , Director/Producer/Video Supervisor, did a fantastic job of putting this pumpkin carving video together!
And here’s a nice photo of Domenico, Julia and Clive just before the filming began.

Haven’t come up with a title for this carving yet. Any suggestions? I can see Clive improving every time he carves and I think this extreme pumpkin creature is his most awesome yet.
Clive created this carving for the folks at Jiggy TV.
Name that Pumpkin

And so it begins . . . pumpkin season is fast approaching. In the meantime, Clive thought he’d try his hand at a squash first!

Clive slips in a few final watermelon carvings before pumpkin season begins. This one’s entitled “Sun Damage”. This is what happens with too much exposure to the sun; a fervent desire to carve watermelons!

What with home renovations going on recently, it’s been a little while since we’ve had a chance to create some new stuff, but now that we’re done, there are a few new ads, posters, etc. and Clive has added a new watermelon to the site. Check out his “Gremlin”.

Let’s do a quick recap of Clive’s carving in the past year or so since we started the site – he’s been on Global BC TV demonstrating his carving skills, at the Food & Sustenance Fair and carved with the big guys at Metrotown’s Monster Pumpkin show, to name a few of my fave moments. To keep his name out there on the web, seems we have to do a lot of this blah, blahing, so forgive us if we’ve repeated ourselves a blog or two. Anyway, hope you enjoy the site!
Here’s Clive newest extreme watermelon carving entitled ”Baboon Watermelon”
