About

Sometime in 2011 I had two small children and did not spend a lot of time outside the house. I decided that it was time to do something when the kids were sleeping and sought out a hobby to pursue. It was then that I looked to my Scandinavian roots and took a look at wood carving. I bought some wood, got a knife, and dove in to YouTube. After many attempts at Santas and gnomes I decided that this might not be for me. I was trying to imitate what someone else was making and I could not do it as well. Maybe trying out my own style would be the ticket. I dug deep in my almost 40 year obsession with comic books and started to carve super hero heads with a twist. I am a fan of long grumpy faces and found that I loved the combination with super heroes! I was hooked. Spandex Splinters was born!
