I'm sorry I don't have the time to post pictures much anymore, but while I had the camera out I thought I would snap a few for folks to look at. (As a reminder, I am not accepting new business. If you have a bird to be mounted now, or this coming year, please call my friend Pat over at AvianArts.com and he will take great care of you.  ) Phatty:

Amazing work Matt! Can't wait to see my pheasant when it's done!!
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

As promised - a few more pics and then back to work. I have to take a moment to say that I was blessed with more work than time, but more importantly, with great clients. Thanks for the positive feedback fellas. It is THE one thing that has kept me motivated for the past 12 years. Fast Mallard (This pose came about based on heavy shot damage to the wings, but I liked the end result.)

Well, this is the last one for now. I mounted this Spec on the 4th of July. I had an invitation to go fishing, but holidays are a great time to be in the shop as the phone doesn't ring and you can mount without distractions;(speaks volumes about the realities of self-employment as well.  )

The spec is awesome, like always with all your mounts!
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.
