More from the woodcarver
May 30th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

This looks like my buddy’s twin
love that ogre looking guy.

It’s a ‘Snotgurg’, one of the archenemies of the Gnome. It’s from the book of Rien Poortvliet ‘Leven en werken van de Kabouter’ (Life and Works of the Gnome) – Rien Poortvliet was a Dutch illustrator, who wrote, together with Wil Huygen, several books about the Gnomes.
