Okamoto Ice Studio artists


Apparently a lot of ice sculptors in the world started off as chefs, because they teach some basic ice sculpting in catering college. But most of the guys who work at Okamoto are professional artists with MFAs. Ben Grasso, who is making the coral in the below post, has an exhibition here. This is his picture above - I really like it. Shintaro Okamoto is also an artist - I saw some of his paintings at the studio yesterday and they were great - but I can't find anything online.
