Driftwood horses

Another teacher recently sent me these pictures in an email. I'm sure it's one of those emails that go around the world. I wish I had a name for the artist or even a location (it sure LOOKS like California to me) All I know is that this is simply AMAZING. "Driftwood Sculptures" have had a bum rap for a long time- sometimes they're kitsch that shows up at craft fairs or tourist curios shops, sometimes they're crafty little things that hobbyists whittle- these horses however- holy WOW! This gives driftwood a good name.
