I Sculpt Crayons Into Cheerful Works Of Art

Crayons are something everybody knows, loves, and probably hasn't used since elementary school. For me they serve as the best medium possible to sculpt ideas that I find to be joyful or interesting. For the most part, I carve pop culture icons since people enjoy seeing their favorite characters in crayon form.

I make my sculptures 100% out of crayon wax, mostly using two wax carving tools and a hot plate. Any extra color is melted from other crayons and slowly added. The time it takes to make each crayon varies a great amount and I never keep track of how long it takes. It can be as short as 45 minutes and as long as around 24 hours worth of sculpting.

I started carving around two years ago, when it served as a great way to deal with stress from working as a 911 operator. I no longer work with 911, but crayon carving has continued to be a very meditative part of my life and something I intend to continue doing for a long time.
