I Carved Two sculptures for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl in only 16 days. This was my 7th year creating team mascots out of Goodyear tires. This year we had an exciting matchup between Ohio state and Mizzou. We first carved the mascots out of foam insulation- then applied over 450 tires to the sculptures. These sculptures were presented to both teams during the 2023 Goodyear cotton bowl, then Goodyear donates them to each respective schools so they can display them on campus. #carving #sculpting #art
