Found this amazing carver on deviantart.com (as in deviating
from the norm and not as in pervert). He has a site, in Russian.
I didn't think there were any carvers that could do this quality of
work anymore. WRONG!

Even if you're not a carver this man's work is well worth
an hour of your time exploring. Truly amazing.
