I would just like to share some pics of wildlife sculptures that I saw outside my local supermarket today..

The man standing in the one pic is one of the artists and a bit camera shy. His name is Steven and he is from Zimbabwe. He is selling these sculptures here in South Africa to support his family back home. I was impressed with his work so I asked if I could take photos to show to other people. Apparently the sculptures are steel and painted with some kind of varnish. The cost of the large sculptures is equivalent to $540 (US). I think that's a good price considering the amount of work involved.

@Wraithorn It was actually pretty engrossing. Yeah a werevulture could work too. Hell we could have a were apocalypse in Kruger - imagine - weregiraffes and kudus. I’d watch that shit!

@SW-User loooolll. Wow, now you got my imagination going nuts with all kinds of wereeverything. 🙂
Thanks for that.

@Wraithorn No problem. I think we could have Shaka and Piet Retief in there too. It would be war of the worlds in Africa. Plus they couldn’t film at night because there would be no electricity.

Very, very impressive!

@Hokage3 That's what I thought so I decided to give him a bit of free advertising by taking these pics and showing them around.

@Wraithorn That's nice of you, had I the spare cash and he was around here I'd definitely be interested in the Giraffe or Horse.

@kingkyri Indeed. The horse is the one that caught my eye first. It's just so big and grand.
