Welcome to our blog!

Greetings from Ice Alaska 2009 in Fairbanks.

This year Joaquin and Donna will carve together in the single block competition. We have prepared and practiced since Christmas. We don't want to ruin the surprise with details so subscribe to our blog and watch and see our sculpture evolve.

Starting March 1st, Raul Quezada and Jake Lucas will join us for the multi-block competition. We'll be sculpting a piece entitled 'Alaskan Tradition.' This will be Raul and Jake's first time in Alaska and first time carving big ice.

You can see some of our portfolio pictures in the slideshow on the left of the page; double click on the show to see larger images.

We hope you enjoy the blog and would love to read your comments!

Start of Day Three

This had been a day! We are up early to eat a quick breakfast and catch the first shuttle over to the ice park. So many of the pieces are coming together beautifully. We are in doubt of even finishing and all hope of really being contenders seems lost. We are just too far behind our schedule. There won't be time for all the finish work that is needed to properly clean the sculpture. Today, we have to hang the upper bear (you know, put him up on the eagle totum, not hang him from the gallows!) and weld on the wing. Without lifting equipment it will be a challenge. We also have a lot of texturing to do. Got to run.
