I had to post this. I think it’s cool.
A buddy of mine here in TV, Jack Burgess, is an artist. He loves his work and still makes some bucks with commissioned artwork and with his public and private caricature sessions. He also creates custom, holiday-themed, lawn decorations out of plywood, such Santa Clauses, Halloween witches, and so on. He has been featured in local papers.
Someone from his old stomping grounds on the Eastern End of Long Island loves giraffes and told Jack as much. So, Jack spent about a month creating a 12-foot-high, painted, plywood giraffe that breaks down into sections. He just boxed it up and sent it off as a surprise gift.
