These are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the collection!
Greatly amazing art.
thanks
Amazing stuff, seen one once but this top notch
Really cooool. Did you make these yourself?
IT´S A WONDERFULL SCULPTURE MADE OF ICE. I´M AMAZED. IT´S INCREDIBLE HOW THAT CAN BE MADE IN WINTER AND DOESN´T MELT.
The one that you say is a deer i am pretty sure is an elk. The antlers come back to curved for a deer and the rack is too tall and thick for a deer. But otherwise amazing art work. That is real talent.
Totally awesome!!I am awe-struck! i wish i could’ve been there be-cuz i know pics can’t do these sculptures TRUE justice!
Very nice collection ! Check out my ,Puff the magic Biker on my website. Alot of your selections are great friends of mine for over the 28 years that I have been carving ice. Thank you
for sharing our wonderful art form with others.

INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOWWOWOWOWOWOWOWO
MY MIND IS BLOWN~!!!!!
INSANE!!!
I made an ice sculpture once. It was a delicate abstract piece in the shape of a cube approximately 2 inches on a side.
Thank you for giving all of us a relaxing visual with total artstic taste!
Nice collection that includes many I hadn’t seen before. A few of these, at the World Ice Art Championships, I got to see in person. It’s hard to grasp how big they are from little pictures, especially the Harbin ice buildings.
these are utterly amazing. did anyine else notice the picture of the sculpture of the london landmarks caught a rainbow on the left hand side? i thought that was a really neat addition to that particular scene
the deer sculpture is actually an elk. just so you know.
If anyone noticed, that sculpture that is labeled as Neptune, it’s actually a sculpture of The Ghost of Christmas Present from Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol.
Hey that one that you said was the god of neptune? isnt. Its the ghost of christmas present form Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
thank you for these pics, i carved two of these sculptures.
Hey, nice of you to post these pics and further the art of ice sculpture. We truly do insane work. Like Dean, I also carved one of these pieces. I was one of four artists who carved the seahorses which stood 23′ tall and was carved over 6 days.
The sculpture of the man being chased by the fish is from the Biblical story of Jonah. You can see “Jonah” inscribed on it’s pedestal.
So many fantastic sculptures. Thank you for posting!
Awesome pics perfecto
A flowing sculpture of a woman. THAT’s kool.
nice art
Incredibly gorgeous stuff.
