Book Grizzly
We just finished up this awesome grizzly from Alaska. My client shot this bear with Lance from Freelance Adventures.

Great work. It has a big "Bear" face and body movement, well done.

Jim the work is gorgeous but it pales in comparison to your diorama work. I have been to those places and seen those rocks. Diorama's don't get any better than that.

I agree, George. That is some incredibly realistic base work under that beautiful mount!

I agree; your bases are top shelf and do a lot for the mount. Far too many are lack luster or just plain ugly. Congrats on some fine mounts and bases!

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

A big old bear that LOOKS like a big old bear. Jim, you get a gold star on both the bear and the base.

Beautiful work. Nice flow to the mount, impeccable anatomical detail, nice symmetry, and superb job of grooming. Makes me want to go get one for myself. Great job!
