Art in a pencil

Most of us will agree with the age-old saying that “patience is a virtue.” How many of you, however, would actually hang on for two years and a half to bring a piece of art into existence? Dalton Ghetti, 49, a Bridgeport artist, has spent 25 good years working with a razor blade, a sewing needle and a sculpting knife for carving his unique art on the graphite of pencil. I find this amazing. I grew up in a wood shop so i know art of craving wood by hand but this is like no other. To have the patience to do this, true patience. He is quoted saying "I don't make money from it but I would love a gallery owner in England to fly me over and put on a show"
