Reunion Trivia

One of Dave's cousins, Hayden, is a well-known wildlife artist. He has enjoyed much success with his wildlife paintings. If you've ever been to Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop and browsed the artwork section, you've seen his work. An excerpt from his website states, "Many of his paintings have been published by Leanin' Tree Publishing Co. in their Christmas card line and the National Rifle Association uses his work for cards, prints,...Hayden's artwork has been featured in art and outdoor magazines such as Art West, Hunters' Quest, Wildlife Art News, Idaho Wildlife, Cabela's, New Mexico Wildlife, Alaskan Outdoors,..." Now, you're probably saying to yourself, "what does this have to do with the picture of that thing above?" Well, this "lovely" lamp (yes, it is a lamp) is created out of a vertebra of either a cow, steer or bull (I can't tell from looking at the bone!) and has unique embellishments for the eyes, eyebrows, mouth and teeth. What type of animal is being depicted in this piece is a mystery to us and even to the creator of this work of art - Hayden Lambson! Yes, this the early artwork of a teenaged Hayden Lambson!! If you're interested in having this one-of-a-kind lamp in your home - check ebay periodically, it may show up there one day!!

My goodness, what is that thing? I'm going to have to come over and take a closer look...

I know exactly what that is-It's Dobby, the house elf from Harry Potter 2. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the movie-perfect copy-or wait...Hayden made his first, so that means they stole the image from Hayden. He could have a copyright lawsuit on his hands.
