Wild Fire Artistry...This buck got burned...

[Hooked]

Literally!  My understanding is the fella in the pic had a house fire and all his photos and his mount of this fine buck were burned up.  So, a friend of his, Rollin Alford, ordered this plaque for him.  And Rollin said to go ahead and post pics, so if you know the fella in the pic then don't say anything to him!

He only had a few pics and they were all pretty poor quality and with just the buck's head.  So we picked out the best photo of the bunch.  I photoshopped in a body.  

Hard thing in a situation with this poor of a pic is I don't know the guy so all I have to go by is the photo.

Has any body ever said that you do awsome work. Great stuff.

That really is awesome. It's a great thing you're doing too. Part of being a true sportsman I would say. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the finished project.

Thanks, Thumper and FnC!

"Hooked", you are providing one 'helluva' service besides 'art'.  Very good.

Outstanding! Keep up the good work.

[Hooked]

Thanks, fellas!  While I am creating this for the guy, Rollin is the one doing something special!  He is the one who commissioned it to be done for his friend!  We all need more friends like that!
