He set up Francis Stone Carving in 2013 and has been honoured to include work at Windsor Castle in his portfolio. His work is predominantly focused around letter carving and repairs. He has worked on many war memorials with his attention to detail becoming his strongest asset as he progresses through his career. In 2016 he was approached to work on a memorial in Cambridgeshire for the company Sacred Stone, carving memories onto stone facades in Long Barrow burial grounds. He thrives on the end result and meeting the criteria set by the customer often resulting in raising the expectations with the image on paper becoming an actual portrayal of work carved into any piece of stone. He feels that a memory needs to last a lifetime and since his work often arises from personal recommendations, he continues to aim for nothing but perfection.

  • Stillwater Stoneworks Las Vegas Fabricator & Sculptor Approaches Stone from a Different Angle TEVE Hitman Does Not by Stacy B

But the man with the philosophy behind Stillwater Stonework maintains a fluid bal- ance of artistry, functionality and crafts- manship in his finished products. He just approaches things from a different angle. His stone furniture and home accent pieces are one-of-a-kind creative, and his philoso- phy comes from a deep reservoir of passion, ambition and, well, water. He grew up on the New Jersey coast and water has always been the source of influence and inspiration in his stonework.

  • Siege Machines Will Spare No Effort to Storm the Town and Its Defenders
    RULEBOOK (WORK IN PROGRESS) 1 THE CONVICTED INTRODUCTION The Convicted is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players. In The Convicted players become convicts who were given a second chance to expiate their crimes. In order to prove their true de- votion for the ruler, they need to colonize new lands in the name of the king. They start building their headquarters – town – with just a handful of footman, and a few structures. Through the development of fortifi cations, buildings, researching new technolo- gies, gathering resources and training recruits they can transform their colony into an impenetrable fortress. Alas, the new world is full of indigenous inhabitants who by any means possible try to get rid of unwanted colonizers. Countless hordes of barbarians, forest people, ferocious monsters and wolf men with their beasts and siege machines will spare no effort to storm the town and its defenders. The whole game-play consists of a campaign of 10 matches, 90 minutes each (15 hours total). After each match the game is saved on the Save Sheet. That gives the possibility to divide the whole campaign to as many parts as we need. The goal of each game is to survive all of the enemy assault waves.

  • Stone Sculpture Hand Carved Creations in Stone
    Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture HAND CARVED CREATIONS IN STONE • BRIEF BACKGROUND • THE STONE • MEDIA REVIEWS • FEATURED ARTISTS • THE SCULPTURE Gallery Handbook Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND Born of an artistic environment free from the constraints of formal artistic ACKGROUND rules & boundaries, the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement has become B known as the most compelling & evocative form of art to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. First appearing in the late 1950s, the art soon captured the attention of the west and has since been featured in many of the world’s finest museums, galleries & private collections. However, the significance of Zimbabwean stone sculpture lies not in the international recognition it has gained, but in its honest and emotional expression of the unique socio-cultural identity of the Zimbabwean community at large. The Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement reads as a testimony of time & place as the artists sculpt a cultural & spiritual induced depiction of the ever- changing Zimbabwean society. As their community changes, new styles emerge to document both the past, the present, and a vision for what’s to come. Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND CONTINUED - In 1957, Frank McEwen was appointed as the first curator of the new ACKGROUND National Gallery in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). He had B previously been curator at the Musée Rodin, Paris and had links with various artists of the time, including Picasso (who was himself heavily influenced by African art) and Matisse. McEwen was impressed with the talent of some of the artists he met in Zimbabwe, and he encouraged them to paint and later to sculpt.
