Your work is very nice, the quality is very visible with your intricate attention to detail. I enjoyed the in depth nature aspect you incorporated into your work such as the otter with the fish they are very delicate and gentle creatures and is often hard to capture them as in their natural environment though you captured it very well very realistic fantastic work!

You should be called Resurrection Taxidermy, because you have brought these wild creatures back to life. Excellent artistry.

If I might constructively critique one thing it would be that the walleye's eyes look too white. Beautiful otherwise.

Gotta love it. Don't think I've ever seen a mounted flying squirrel before, tough enough to see in the wild.

Your birds are amazing. But your cat, cape buffalo and otter wow. Cats imo are one of the hardest cause you see alot that their faces are just a little off but that one is truly a beauty.

nothing is for sale... sale of wildlife in Alberta is very limited and can apply to a few species only... pretty much all we do is based on clients request and of course with the proper paperwork and permits. Raptors are all accompanied with found dead wildlife permit, and the harvested animals are accompanied with hunting licences.
