BigMoqui Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Haven't posted anything in awhile, at least not until a couple days ago. Not sure where to post this so I put it here. This was my first javelina. It's about ten years old and starting to yellow so I thought I'd do something with it that would spruce it up a little bit. It's inspired by the folk art from the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos. I'm no artist by any means. This is the first time I've ever painted anything so be kind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr.smith Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Turned out great. It's funny. Just the other day I pulled my first javelina skull (about 8yrs old) down and noticed the same thing(yellowing and minor cracking). I also painted mine. Not so creative as yours though. I spray painted it copper. Turned out really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couestracker Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Oh yea, good job Mr Artist! I think it turned out great. I saw someone at an art fair that painted antlers southwestern/ Native American style and thought those were cool. I think I have a picture, I'll post it If I can find it. Thanks for sharing your art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing your art. I found the painted antler photo I mentioned. I didn't want to hijack your thread, so I posted it in a new topic under miscellaneous items related to coues deer. Your art work on that javi skull is awesome, thought maybe you'd like to see the antlers for more ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
