Paul Shafer and Bart Schleyer Artwork
« on: February 25, 2011, 08:33:00 AM »
I wanted to share with you this artwork that I was priveledged to be a part of. Mike Mitten and I had a conversation that turned to a desire to create something that would forever help tell a story about two very special people. Though people say, they would laugh at the notion they were legends, they truely were. Mike gave me an oppurtunity to share in this story by etching this in stone to remember the countless stories that came before and after Paul and Bart met one another. They touched the lives of many people and have left cherished memories wherever they happened to be. Mike also fed my passion as we are connected with similar spirits as brothers of the bow, with different gifts in life. As much as I love the thought of adventure in the wilderness with my bow, I also love the thought of creating works through my hands that will stand the test of time. I can't thank Mike enough, I've enjoyed this more than words can speak. Truely an awesome pleasure to work with and know him. Sharing his perspective with Ellen and I on the soon to be released Essential Encounters film and other topics were inspiring to say the least. Seeing these moving Primal Dreams films have allowed me to enjoy seeing and hearing from others how much they're hearts were touched from viewing these beautiful works of art. Very Well Done! I own 8 copies that I share with others, I usually only have a copy or two available at home for myself. Thank you.

Sincerely, Kenn Paulson

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Two Trad Bow Hunters that I have the utmost respect for. They lived to bowhunt and never took the easy way.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
