One of the cooler sets I have found just because they laid together. Found a set of whitetail laying like this in Tecas once, too! Columbian blacktail.

Vote for yourself and talk to your neighbor. Don't let peer pressure or what you think people think of you dictate how you vote. That is part of our freedom. Then, make a point to talk to your neighbor regardless of their yard signs or leanings. At the end of the day, your neighbor is the one who puts your house fire out when you are on vacation. Or not.

And it is ok for you to disagree with my statements. We can disagree and still be civil.

Taxidermy has brought some amazing people into my life. They trust me to preserve their memories, tell their stories, and capture the essence of poignant events. This is an exceptional example of a collaboration between two artists; myself and a dedicated wood worker. Woodcock are quite difficult to mount, so I am extra pleased with the end result.

Instagram doesn't allow the full-size photo size, so you get the birds and a bit of the scale. I am deeply touched by the meaning and so grateful to have been chosen to help pull it off.

Once the weather turns, I'll be back at it!

As much as I have loved teaching at the college, I am making a career change to a full-time position this winter at a great consulting firm. As a result, I am limiting my taxidermy intake this fall to a handful of shoulder mounts. Currently, I am full on birds and small mammals. I have a good workload of birds and larger/exciting projects to tackle (intake between November 2023 and now) over the coming year. If we have already spoken, please schedule to bring your animal in.

This is the responsible thing for me to do. I don't know what my time availability will look like with the new position. I will continue to work on projects evenings and weekends until the current list has gone home, then re-assess what I can take in and complete within a year. I love taxidermy and want to keep it a source of joy and artistic release rather than a source of stress. I do not want to compromise the quality of my output, either.

If you would like to get on a list for bird intake at a later date I can talk you through proper storage in the freezer. I plan on calling folks on the list when I start to take in more projects.

I have greatly appreciated all the support of clients over the last few years and look forward to continuing to work with you to preserve the memories! I just need to reassess my capacity over the next year! Thank you!

Absolutely surreal afternoon and evening on 1,000+ acres of glass water that we had to ourselves (until the last hour, another boat came out). Heidi stood on the knee board her first try and then took off from there. "Lord help me" I can't afford a wake boat. Spectacular. Heidi said it was like AI made the water and sky... scroll for the AI-esque photos...

Awesome dead mount... but I am no carpenter. The camera pointed out that this project needs some adjusting and fortunately I think it will be an easy fix. I am always amazed by how much a camera and photo reveals in taxidermy. Full sun, too.

Pronghorn... my favorite North American mammal. Soo incredibly beautiful and unique. Nothing, literally, else on earth like them. He just needs his horn shealths attached and can go home. A graduation present for a son.
