What do these rocks have to do with each other? Nothing really, but in the hands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/louis.sarowsky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Louis Sarowsky<\/a>, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lurker_lou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lurker Lou<\/a>, this stone cocktail can be shaped into a hyper-realistic hotdog worthy of a gallery show.<\/p>\n<p>A long-time artist and skateboarder, Lou has worked with many mediums, but stone sculpting is his latest obsession. If you\u2019ve been paying attention, his fixation with rocks started a couple years ago, first with carving stone wheels and other skate related paraphernalia.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Lou began sculpting food items: a KitKat bar, an ice cream sandwich, a salmon dinner complete with rice and broccoli. With stone sculpting being an artform known for ornate building flourishes and ancient Roman peckers, Lou\u2019s approach is novel. And it\u2019s catching on.<\/p>\n<p>His food sculptures were recently a best seller at NYC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/outsiderartfair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Outsider Art Fair<\/a>, and for the first time Lou has been able to sustain himself off his art, something he was never able to achieve with skateboarding.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for a couple days with Lou sculpting, talking shit, and checking out a fridge worth of never-perishing perishables that promise to be around long after Lou leaves this earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ROCK-BANNER.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-127553\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCF4249-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-127536\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCF4283-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-127540\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCF4247-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-127535\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hotdogfinal-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-127546\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"full block-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCF4292-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-127543\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"article-content-footer\">Filmed by: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pressure.cracks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ben Komins<\/a><br \/>Edited by: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dante.downey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dante Downey<\/a><br \/>Share this with a rockstar on <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/jenkemmag\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>Scroll to the bone on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jenkemmag\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jenkemmag\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green soapstone, limestone, honeycomb calcite, pipestone.
