In his studio in New York’s Long Island City in Queens, sculptor Shintaro Okamoto and his team of artisans create massive, detailed sculptures for the rich and famous, as well as for everyone else.
Okamoto was born in Fukuoka, Japan, but his family moved to Alaska when he was 9 years old. It was his father who discovered sculpting in ice first. (If you’re going to sculpt in ice in the United States, Alaska is the place.)
