Everyone, Meet Dr. CottonCandy Cow!

by Daric Gill

Every group needs a leader. CottonCandy Cow is this for the SnackHacks.

New ToeHead Is Over His Head!

The latest piece in my ToeHead series is called, “In Over Your Head”.  This sketch has been in my sketchbook for a while now and it’s only now that I’ve found the right piece of wood for it. Reclaimed from the scrap heap at Columbus Idea Foundry, this piece of wood had just the right wood grain to give just the right added emotion to the piece.
