Sculpture by Villafane Studios

Ray Villafane is an incredible realist/fantasy sculptor who has developed a following for his carvings of pumpkins and sand sculptures. His studio now involves five other sculptors, and their site has an incredible amount of great work -- it's worth clicking through to. The fact that they work in the nontraditional media of pumpkins and sand doesn't diminish the artistic merit -- or incredible craftsmanship -- of their work.  Below the break is a video, via boing boing, of them carving an incredible zombie at the New York Botanical Garden.
