Some great folks in Iowa contacted me about a commission for a life sized Bison from recycled steel.\u00a0 Standing 9 feet tall at the shoulders, with tractor fenders making up the rear hips, and tractor snow chains making the\u00a0 hairy hide of this massive sculpture, the details are spectacular.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This sculpture was fun for me.\u00a0 The animals are muscular and impressive in their demeanor.\u00a0 I was able to give those traits to the sculpture.\u00a0 There is a lot of movement, and life in the metal behemoth with the placement of the feet and the position of the legs.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

He now resides in Iowa, in a private collection and guards a home while standing in the front yard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
