For a week in April of 2014 The Conan O'Brien Show was filmed at the Majestic Theater in Dallas. The show ordered a pair of Longhorns for the front of Conan's desk and a small pair for the front of Andy's mechanical podium.
The largest collection of my work resides in the Longhorn Smokehouse at the Wrest Point Casino in Hobart Tasmania, Australia. The restaurant has 8 of my largest mounts and 5 large standing Longhorn Sculptures.
The client asked for a description of the collection to be printed in the menu. Here is what I came up with:
“I have worked with Texas Longhorns for 18 years, building mounts, furniture, and sculptures. The Longhorn Smokehouse now houses the best collection of my work, containing some of the largest Longhorns I have ever worked with. Most of the Longhorns used in these pieces came from a Longhorn ranch in Texas, where the animals had lived to an older age resulting in their magnificent colors, texture, and size. I would like to thank the Longhorn Smokehouse for giving me the opportunity to assemble one of the best collections of modern Texas Longhorn artwork in the world.”
The original Flor de Cuerno (Flower of horn) sculpture now hangs in a clients luxury suite at Darrell K. Royal- Texas Memorial Stadium, University of Texas at Austin.
