Where Would We Be Without Artists?

I'm always in awe of people who can draw and paint and create works of art. The imaginative ideas they come up with are often inspiring. And as a writer who is always reaching for the nearest pen or pencil, I'm especially appreciative of this artist who carves designs in pencils. Amazing!

I could never do something that clever and talented, but I'm so glad that someone else can (and did). By the way, this artist, Dalton Ghetti , is carving a graphite teardrop for each 9/11 victim, a project he anticipates will take him 10 years.

Best Wishes,

  2. I'll bet he had a whole box of broken pencils (or maybe not. I sure would have)! Still, pretty awesome. I can't imagine even deciding to carve anything, much less something so small!
