Читать книгу Carving Small Characters in Wood - Jack Price - Страница 9

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Special thanks to Bill Gilbert, my good friend of many years, who encouraged, exhorted, goaded, and nagged this ne’er-do-well to complete this book. In desperation he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse—free word processing and consultation. I accepted gratefully.

Thanks also to members of the Caricature Carvers of America, a group of carvers so awesomely talented that my association with them has stimulated me to aim a bit higher.

Additional thanks to my many carving friends who encouraged me to complete the book by constantly asking, “When the X@c*% will the new book be available?”

Special thanks to Melvin Mar and Debbie Welch, two graphic design experts, whose know-how, creativity, and artistic ability elevated the appearance of this book from ho-hum to something special.

Jose Gamero, Carver

In 2014, Jose Gamero had developed an interest in wood carving and was looking for the opportunity to start. By coincidence, he discovered Jack Price’s legendary book Carving Small Characters. Jose absorbed every word Jack put into his book, and since then he has not stopped carving little characters and other figures. Jose’s carvings and photographs made this new edition possible.
