Artist Tommy Craggs is the Vincent Van Gogh of trees. Using a chainsaw as his main tool, Craggs turns trees into spectacles that often look like they might come to life at any second.
Craggs often makes his creations out in the wilderness for anyone to stumble across. It must be quite the odd experience to be on an afternoon stroll then suddenly come across a wooden wizard complete with hat and beard. Tommy Craggs identity was unknown until recently so before he was known as the "Yorkshire Banksy" because his sculptures can be found in northern England. Much like the original Banksy, Craggs also secretly snuck around creating artwork in unusual places.
The tree sculptures of Tommy Craggs would get along splendidly with the Ents from the Lord of the Rings.
