Oh deer

On the last day of February, Angelo issued an open invitation to come to his house and play with the deer.

A lot of people expressed interest, but Piper and I were the only ones - so far - to take him up on it.

Of course, we've been to Angelo's place before. We'd seen clusters of deer here and there around the studio.

Now they have their own dedicated corner.

On the wall.

On the shelves.

All media.

All scales.

All varieties.

Even snail deer.

Heh.

Most of the realistic deer are sculpted by Maya Pantić.

I really love her work.

I'm trying very hard not to go down this particular collection rabbit hole, but I have a feeling that if I continue hanging out with Angelo - and of course, I will - resistance will be futile.

I'm totally going to end up with a herd of deer.

Or maybe, I'll just keep going over to Angelo's house to play with his deer.

And goats and jackalopes and, oh yeah, horses, too.

Don't forget the horses, Angelo!!!

My deer friend.

Thanks for the invite.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Angelo's horse deer room.
