Dark Sentiments 2011 – Day 12: The Art of Ray Villafane
Posted By Randy on October 12, 2011
Dark Sentiments 2010 included a profile of the work of incredibly gifted sculptor Ray Villafane. Famous for his artistry in pumpkin carving which I focused on last year, he began sculpting professionally in the field of toys and statues based on comic book heroes, and since 2008 has been working his magic at sand sculpture.
By appearances, a lot of Ray Villafane’s inspiration comes from some very dark sentiments indeed. What follows is a selection of shots chosen from among those Mr. Villafane has posted, and that I think suitable to this year’s lineup. For more on Ray and his work, click on the links in the paragraph above and peruse is excellent website. You can also go and give the Villafane Studios Facebook page some love.

An occasional "tree person" creeps into the mix. This looks like Tolkein's Ent, Treebeard, back when he was just a sapling, and a bit more hasty.
