Did this Dall sheep recently on a half pound chunck of mammoth ivory ,I still need to make a base for it and get some good pics for my website.I was looking at this chunck of ivory and it just looked like it needed a sheep.
Hopefully the pic from my phone worked.

Thank you,I started as a illustrator for a advertising agency when I got out of high school.I then went into the army and did 10 years,I was always drawing and doing artwork on my own and after I got out realized that my time had passed and it was all computerized.I did a lot of artwork for my kids school projects lol.About 10 years ago I started playing around with it and working on my technique.I got serious input it and started selling my work about 5 years ago after my wonderful wife encouraged me.I still work a full time job on the north slope and build knives and do scrimshaw on my off time.
