Buffalo Skull
Paul CloutierJuly 1, 2011

One of Charlie Russell's Buffalo skulls in his studio. The bison ended up being one of his trademarks and the skull was part of his signature. Many credit his artwork and portrayal of the american west and the bison in particular as instigating the drive to save them from extinction.

An archive of a trip that ended in 2012. Nothing here has changed since.
