Jesus thats pretty damn raw!--6ft tall holy shiieeet--looks like something out of "the thing"---you did a really good job on it.

if you have kids you can say "now if you dont behave youre gonna have to go and spend time out with "simon" in the shed"

:eek:

Fantastic!!

Such a cool idea! Where do you get these bones? At your local butcher? :p

You should entomb some in a forest, archaeologists in a few hundred years will be shocked :D

that's off the hook. you know, i just recently did something kind of similar to this, with the bones and all. but i didn't use real bone on mine, and it isn't six feet tall. so, kudos to you my friend. i love that type of shit. have you ever shown these anywhere? i think you really have some thing here...-c36

cuc: thanks a lot man. my grandmother (rest her soul) used to have a really small plot of land outside of College Station, TX. I lived in Austin TX for about 7 years. When i would go visit my parents (in College Station), i would always go rumage around on that plot of land looking for stuff...just messing around...getting away and stuff. Over that period of time i just started collecting this massive amount of cow bones. i didn't really have any use for them...it just started out as "hey let's put this cowskull outside our door (TX crap).
I'm a big fan of creatures and always dug dinosaurs as a child so...that's how these guys came about. before i started building them i had no idea how to do it. i got a job working for a blacksmith and gained some knowledge about tools, steel, structure and stuff....helped a lot.

coro: thanks man. i wasn't really sure what people were going to think about this. I'm glad you like it. the top one was accepted into a central TX juried show way back in the day...didn't place....but everyone seemed to like it.

thats cool stuff man.. I know a guy here in dallas who does those kind of sculptures. his name is Turner,, he use to play in that band Ethyl Murmon,, or later Pumpin Ethyl.. i hear his house is full of bones. he has a connection with a local taxidermist so he gets all kinds of weird bones,, like bever,, emu,, and sasquatch... :)

dude,,, my parents live out in Cedar Hill and im always out there rummaging around the woods for weird shit.. i love that crap. i have a collection of horse and cow bones as well as a huge bounty of 18th and very early 19th century rusty farm equiptment that ive dug up from creeks or found in the woods. ive got old horse shoes, rusty rake and hoe heads, and an endless ammount of shit that i cant even identafy.
but the cool thing is that my parents place is right on one of the first settlements along the chisim trail,, so some of the earliest settelers in north texas were living practacally in my parents back yard. this makes searching for junk more interesting.
