Caricatures in Motion: Caricature
Carvers of America
Whether running,
jumping, or walking, subtle twists or turns of the body can
ultimately give a carving a sense of motion. That concept is
proven here. Caricature Carvers of America members offer up a
variety of carvings of figures in motion. All of them are
humorous and several carvings share a similar "theme." Among
them are a cowboy on a "quick" trip to the outhouse and another
who has been there, met up with a bee’s nest, and is making a
fast getaway. Sports figures, superheroes, dancers, a fireman,
and even a surfing chicken are among the delightful characters
who move their way through this book. Phil Bishop provides
step-by-step instructions for carving that "Green Apple Quick
Step." Suggestions are also provided for painting and finishing.
Other chapters feature the individual carvers with information
about them and their works, along with photos of the works in
progress, and beautiful studio photographs of the finished
pieces. Patterns are provided for readers who want to carve
these pieces, giving them their own personal twist.
