Hi Kathyn,kathyn wrote:zkulptor, I have seen Ray Villafane's work on tv....a couple of pumpkin-carrving competitions. He's fantastic.
Yes he is amazing! He used to make action figures like me, and now he is famous and rich lol.
Funny thing is I met him when he was extremely poor with 8 kids ( he was a K12 teacher) , the guy would sculpt on his night stand with a cord and a sheet hanging on it to divide his bed so his wife could sleep without the glare of the night stand's lamp light to bother her.
He told me that before his mother passed away that she promised him that once on the other side she would help him become a success...I guess it worked
