“Resurrection” (A Skull. With some history.)

November 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This cow died, most likely of rabies, a few years back up near Van Horn, Texas. The skull is not quite complete, part of the nose is missing, and I had to file off the bases of the horn caps to even out dome dog damage. This is the first skull I’ve ever messed with artistically, and I thought alot about death while I was at it.

Its unfair, death. That was my conclusion. Skull makes a pretty thing to hang on the wall- plus you can hang your hat on her, and give a little nod of respect on your way out the door.

Safe at Home with Jesus

Usually “safe at home with Jesus” means you’ve died and gone to heaven. I find that idea rather limiting. I’d rather keep Jesus around all the time, especially in my car and my house.
