Skull Art Created By Western Artist FARM HOME Novelty Items Justin Levario discovered his artistic media when he saw his first carved deer skull Since October 2013 the artist has been honing his skills in bone to create affordable pieces for clients Buffalo red stag Alaskan bear and cow skulls Levario says he’ll work on any skull and has even carved on skulls as small as sheep and badgers Prices range from $75 to $175 for pre-cleaned skulls and from $150 to $250 for skulls that need to be boiled and cleaned before carving From logos and ranch brands to collages of animal heads Levario creates designs that clients request After getting their approval he carefully carves the skull with a rotary tool then finishes it with a spray acrylic and occasionally acrylic paint “It’s pretty intense ” he says “This is a trophy You can’t get too rough with the bone; it will break ” Levario a full-time oilfield worker carves during his free time “I’ll carve on any livestock or wildlife skull ” he says “I can also provide some Longhorn skulls ” He’s eager for new challenges and open to all design ideas Because he works full time he notes that turn around time is usually 4 to 6 months “I’m just a small time country boy ” Levario says “I’m hoping this little business can get me out of the oilfield ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Justin Levario 44 Karr Ranch Rd 1 Artesia New Mexico 88210 ph 575 513-1701; subliminalskulls@gmail com; www subliminalskulls com
