If you think that pencil is a tool for drawing, painting or writing notes – you’re wrong! 45-year-old carpenter, Dalton J. Paul Getty for 25 years turns ordinary pencils into incredible miniature sculptures.
He works as a carpenter and carves pencils in his free time – often putting in just an hour or so before his eyes get tired. It can take years to finish an especially complicated piece – a linked chain in the middle of a pencil took him two years, and a carefully crafted giraffe even longer.
One of the most fascinating things about these tiny works of art is that he has never sold them, he has only given them away to friends as gifts.
