New Carvings in North Yorkshire by a Secret Sculptor

 

Looking for an interesting day trip from London during your visit to the 2012 Summer Olympics?  Take a car rental out to North Yorkshire to see the amazing carved trees by a new secret sculpture artist!  

The unknown artist that is making huge, stunning, and incredibly detailed carvings around North Yorkshire is being compared to Banksy, the famous guerilla graffiti artist.  Like Banksy, the secret sculptor is creating these detailed works of art completely unauthorized, in an otherwise illegal fashion, though unlike Banksy the local civic society is asking for the artist to come forward so that they can thank him!  Now is the time, if you are traveling in the United Kingdom by car rental, to plan a stop in Yorkshire and see the beginnings of a famous artist, and what could potentially become a new popular movement in woodcarving.

Many would consider the Banksy comparison an honor, but it is yet to be seen if this artist is actually trying to make a social commentary with his secret sculptures in the same way as Banksy's graffiti.  So far they appear to be simply a more beautiful use of dead wood; a piece of beautiful art in nature for all the people of North Yorkshire to enjoy, but could he have more of a meaning behind his work leading him to work in secret?  One of his carvings, a very interesting face with what looks like a feather headdress is quite curious and I'm eager to hear what reviews of his work have to say about its meaning.

There are many convenient car rental pick up locations for your day trip to North Yorkshire.  Nearby airports include the Leeds-Bradford Airport and Manchester Airports, though you can easily make the 3-4 hour drive on a day trip from [
