According to artist Herb Williams, he is the only person in the world who has an account with Crayola; indeed, his series of Crayola crayon sculptures show an unparalleled brand loyalty. Williams selects art subjects that to adults are iconic objects, then reintroduces them by using crayons, a childlike medium. In the gallery, there is a bull head with horns, a skull, a Labrador Retriever, and a flower. Below, read how Herb Williams describes the process of creating his Crayola crayon sculptures.  I get these colors individually packed 3000 to a case. I cut down the sticks to the length I need by hand with either double guillotine cigar cutters or large breed dog nail clippers. I then bond the paper, not the wax, to a form I have carved or cast, completely enveloping the form. Lately I have been casting the completed crayon sculptures in a silicone jacket mold with a two-part epoxy resin and then painting the resin sculpture to look like the original, for a small edition.
