I have it down to The Artistry of Wildlife, and Animal Artistry for my full-mounted Leopard.

I want it to be PERFECT. I understand that the owner of The Atristry of Wildlife once worked for Animal Artistry. AA has the full page ad's in the SCI magazines, and is approx $1,000 more that The Artistry of Wildlife

Both of their work looks awesome.....did any of you use one of these two, and do you have any comments or suggestions??
Thanks

I have never used either, but from following their advertisements, they are both outstanding on cats.

It seems the Anitmal Artistry might be the most creative if your looking for a mount other than the norm, but it they are not, save $1,000 and go with Artistry of Wildlife.

My lion was done in Africa by Life Form Taxidermy. They do a great job on cats as well, and will do my leopard.

Wolfgar,

Animal Artistry mounted my husband's leopard and lion,crocodile, buffalo and the usual plainsgame. We could not be happier with their work and prompt completion of the mounts.

At this year's S.C.I. convention, my husband's leopard and my pedestal mounted zebra were displayed at their booth.

On the Sunday following the show we went to the Animal Artistry studio for their open house. The
different displays of the animals was amazing.

If you would like some photos of their work from the studio, please send me a PM and I will e-mail them to you.

Best of luck in whomever you choose.
