Jason R. Webb has just shared one of his latest creations – a scrimshaw heart for a nurse on an oval cabochon. Jason’s work is extremely detailed and the sequence of pics from scribed to finished is worth a look to both aspiring and accomplished scrimshanders. Clicking on the pics will bring up larger images of the work on Jason’s Scrimshaw Heart page.
David He contacted us a couple of times regarding his scrimshaw work, and we’re glad to include him on our site. An accomplished artist in/on several media, David has started working on ivory alternative but works on traditional ivory as well. He scrimshaws on regular size pieces as well as doing some astounding micro-scrimshaw. See a quick overview at https://www.scrimshaw.com/scrimshaw-artist-david/
Jason R. Webb continues to create beautiful work in his unique style. He has just finished a scrimshaw skull with a beautifully stylized cross on the opposite side.

Jason has just finished another Halloween scrimshaw, this one on a beautiful heart shaped piece of mammoth ivory, and he’s done this as a two-sided work. One side has a skull intricately scrimmed on it’s curved surface with the detail and shading that is becoming his trademark. On the other side is an exquisite cross that looks as if it were made of wrought iron.
Jason’s eye for design and detail comes from many years of drawing, some art schooling and a passion for his craft. See Jason’s interview page for more information on this contemporary scrimshaw artist.
