you have to check out this art work

so i have to brag a little, my aunt is an incredible artist. she saw my skull hooker and ask where i got it. i told her and asked why? she sent me some photos of pencil drawings she had done on an elk skull. i knew he did paintings but had no idea she did skulls (i dont see her and my uncle much they live in idaho). long story short i had to have her do one for me so i sent her a bear skull and pictures of the bear. i asked her to draw sow with a cub since the skull with from a sow. this is what i got in the mail today.

(first is my overall collection of bear skulls)



(now for drawn on one)

















by the way if anyone is interested in having something done pm me, i was just told she will do others.

 

Not exacty my cup of tea but you've got to admire the talent and artistry that went into creating that piece.

 

i can appreciate that, not everyone is into skulls or art work on skulls.

 

Wow...i must say that's incredible,detailed,and almost hard to believe it's a hand-drawn...thank you for sharing...

 

That my friend is some beautiful work. Is drawing and painting just a hobby for her. I really really like that. Drawing is one of those things that I really tried doing, but I could never get it. Its a talent that you either have or don't.

 

Wow. Thats all I've got.

 

why?

 

Very neat.. I could understand the "Why" part however.

EDIT: Not really different than stuffing right? Taxidermy is the word I believe

 

Beautiful artwork.

 

Why what? Why keep the skulls or why have it drawn? I guess i need to know exactly whatyou are asking to be able to answer that.

By the way bear meat makes great sausage.

 

Very cool- she's very talented.

 

subd

 

That's some cool art work, she's very talented. What kind of process did you use to clean the skulls so perfectly?

 

Dermisite (spelling?) beetles, then let it soak in degreaser until no mote oils come off. Then bleach

 

Definitely not my cup of tea either, but for what it is, that's pretty sweet.

 

wow, amazing artistry! she is very creative and talented!

 

Why not. That came out incredible. She is very talented

 

She might need to market that talent somehow. I'd bet she could fetch some nice $$$ to put murals on a plain synthetic rifle stock. If she could figure out what materials to use and a protective clear coat or whatever.

 

Those look awesome! I'm all for skulls I have a bull Elk in my living room it's the only mounts my wife likes

 

Very cool!
