I created a life size bison out of recycled tires, stainless steel and foam. This sculpture will be displayed at the Henry Vilas Zoo located in Madison Wisconsin. Go check it out if you are there!

Without a SHADOW of a doubt, I couldn't care less what it is I watch you make.. every single sculpture made by your hands is **100%** worth watching. It's amazing to watch you make anything and wish I could have someone like you as a mentor and teacher. Honestly fella, whatever you do, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.
