graphite carves extremely well, so any individual letter or short series wouldn't be that big of a deal, but how the heck do you keep it from breaking with the whole alphabet???

well, mitch i dunno. magic maybe? most would think it insane to even try this. yet the gentleman does such amazing work in this medium. his sculpture, even at this scale is simply incredible.

i'd think at the prices charged for the work, eh--i''m not willing to find out.

It must be a just something to do project, I can't imagine selling it at any price.

i actually saw no prices. you may be right. i would get pricey as heck if i were to (if i could) do this kind of work.
