Hand carved wood folk art which the artist, Jim Sheely otherwise known Ojimbo, describes as freak show artwork is intricate, imaginative, colorful, and fascinating. The attention to detail and sense of the bizarre is fantastic. With Halloween coming up you have got to check this guy out for inspiration.

Jim Sheely's main goal as an artist is to make stuff that he want to see made. He tries to work in a variety of mediums. He's currently most interested in wood carving. Jim really enjoys the idea of systematically destroying a chunk of wood until something strange and new is born. (sideshowworld)

Ben, this is absolutely horrifying! Ojimbo gives new meaning to the term 'tortured artist.' I hope I never meet anyone with one of these on their wall!
