Upcoming Artists

To Blazeblogger,
When I was at blaze last weekend, there was an artist named Vern (don't know his last name) in the tent. Will he be featured as one of the 10? He is an artistic genius. I'd like to know more about him and his background.
How many...

Natalie: I plan on featuring 10 in all here on the blog. I think there are about a dozen key carvers overall, including Michael, the head carving/creative honcho.
