RE: Are there artists among us?
I am always amazed at the hidden talents people have.
iamyourhuckleberry those buckles are great, my brother has done some similar work with native New Zealand themes and I know the amount of work he put into getting the moulds just right. I have not been brave enough to venture into paints yet, just learning to sketch is hard enough!
Chris I really like that elk but the scratch board woodie really appeals to me, great work.

superb work hucklebarry, they look awesome. They look like tedious work.
I guess you could call this some form of art work. I engrave canyon stones. And yes i have sold alot of them. Im currently doing/ learning Taxidermy habitat displays. I have my first ever waiting for my Archery turkey so ill wait on pics when its done. I just did one for Hunsuckers Giant buck to be mounted on but will let him post those pics when he gets his buck done
I do some engraving on wood to. here are just a drop in the bucket of ones i have done.

Cool Dan, are the designs sandblasted into the cobbles or what? I cannot image them being carved preciselywithout some damage occurring. Please tell...
Chris, I think your elk would make an awesome buckle.

Hey Huck I like the silver work, very impressive.
Do you do the casting yourself as well? I used to work as a Pattern Maker in a foundry so i know a little of the more industrial side of that type of work.
Unfortuneately i dont have a creative bone in my body so ive nothing to show of my own!

Im an artist... of a different kind Heres a couple pics from a few years ago. Ive been in several bands and recorded a couple songs...
(dont know what i was doin with my mouth lol!!!)
I havent been doin too much lately with it b/c of school, and shooting. My passion started shifting to archery about a year and a half ago or so and music slowly went down hill from there.

Yes....It is sand blasted in using a rubber stencil and blaster. I either freehand the stencil or create a print to transfer to the rubber to be temporaialy glued to the stone. Its then cut out using an x-acto knife and peeled out, The blasting bounces off the rubber but cuts/etches anything lifted out. I then clean with air and paint before removing rubber.
Buckeye...In my eyes, thats artI like it!!

What about digital? I can't draw for the life of me (Some of you guys are GOOD), so I turned to graphic design. Here are a few of the things I've done:
