Working on a couple hog skulls. These things are a challenge with all the grease.

Woopsie. Looks like this mulie fell off the wall. No matter. That antler is back on and three times stronger than it ever was.

This complete coyote was hit by a car and salvaged. You can visit the erected specimen at Skeleton Skin Tattoo.

I can't get enough of these trout jawbones. If you want to preserve a trophy of that awesome fish but you don't want to fork out the money for a wall mount, then just get a jawbone done. Bring me the head and keep your fillets.

This is a female Armenian red sheep. She was taken with a bow out of South Texas. Some of the best Tasting red meat I've ever tried.

Check out this cat! This cat died naturally and it happened to be in the right place to be mummified. Because the natural process wasn't perfect conditions it needed work to be presentable. With a lot of cleaning, clay and paint I was able to give it a whole abdomen area, attach the legs and make it presentable. Rewarding project to say the least. This piece is on display at a badass little oddity museum at Skeleton Skin Tattoo. Josh Thornton
