You've got to give us an easier challenge! Went to Google, groups, alt.sculpture, search 'brick sculptor' and this popped up http://www.vanoverbeeksculptures.com/Baksteen/Baksteen% 201E.htm!

I think most brick sculptors, the Seattle one I saw on 'American Masters' TV show, carves the leather hard brick before firing, then number the bricks and sends them out.

Just happened to google this site looking for brick sculptors...
The Brick Institute of America(BIA)has info and articles on brick scupture...
About a dozen artists work full time as brick sculptors through out the USA. Each is usually attached to a regional brick company such as www.MutualMaterials.com(Seattle area).As I see I was mentioned in the Seattle HGTV spot, give me a call if you have questions on brick sculpture.
