An artist has to find expression, whatever be the medium. Art enthusiast, and now rather well known sculptor Clive Cooper makes his living as a full-time government clerk out of Vancouver, Canada, where he pursues sculpting as a hobby and as a means to supplement his income by providing his sculptures for weddings and parties. Halloween as one would expect, is always a busy time for him. Working with a remarkably difficult and ephemeral medium, he makes short work of it. Take a look.

Mr.Cooper can I pay you in watermelons to learn your craft? :)
one of the guys looks like eddie from iron maiden heheheh
Los fer words.
how does he do what he does? haha and that too with watermelons….amazing.
Gotta love this guy for his sense of humor.
This man is obviously very god gifted. wow.
I always wondered how much labour would go into making, say a sand sculpture..and now seeing this..its a very different spirit of the art world to make work with great effort fully knowing that it will all be destroyed very very soon.
Unadulterated fun!
This made me smile. Great sense of fun, although monstrous….
I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E!!
Amazing talent. God Bless.
Haha this made me my day. Merci.
Mr. Cooper. Take a bow. Applause.
This man deserves an immediate Art Grant. People please spread the word.
Wow. Unsung sculpting hero! Thanks for posting.
They are not good enough to eat, they are good enough to sculpt! wow.
Quite macabre characters, but strangely likeable. Dreams and Demons. Amazing work.
very skilled and gifted man. thanx for sharing.
**Two Thumbs Up!**
Artists are born not taught. Stunning talent!
Pure Genius!!!!!!!! Love it. :]
As he’s talented and industrious, Clive has no place in government. I hope his well-deserved progression to full-time steadily employed professional artist is quick and easy.
Absolutely amazing!!!! I couldn’t even attempt something like that.
