- Michael Leask – Michael contacted me a while back after he found my work on the web. He sent me a few images of his work and we dialogued by email. He has been carving for over twenty years. Now I feel like I have found veteran concrete carving peer. Like me he has been struggling with his passion to carve and keeping himself functioning and alive in the world. Until I find out otherwise I feel he is the most accomplished concrete carver in Europe. Someday maybe we could work out a swap if either of us can afford the shipping. I would love to have one of his cobra pieces. Click HERE to see a small gallery of Michael's work on this site. You can email him at michaelfaeasta@tiscali.co.uk
