Sculptor and stone carver. Mostly architectural work- custom fireplaces, fountains, some public sculpture, and lots of gargoyles (hence the handle). I have a studio near Chicago for my work in domestic limestones, and I work in Italy (I originally apprenticed there) on the projects which require marble or European limestone. (choice of material is dependant on the style, taste of the client, technical requirements of the project, etc.) Usually make about 5 round trips a year, plus occasional trips to client sites and the like.

Now if only all my stone and marble suppliers would take credit cards, I could collect a LOT more miles!
