Handcrafted Antler & Skull Art from Montana
Hand painted skulls and antlers finished in resin by Montana artist Joe Ziolkowski. One-of-a-kind pieces built to last for generations.
Whether it's a moose paddle you packed out of the backcountry or a whitetail skull from your first deer, I can turn it into something your grandkids will fight over. Each piece is painted by hand in rural Montana, layered with watercolor, and sealed in a durable resin finish. No prints. No reproductions. Just your piece, made once, built forever.
What Does a Commission Cost?
Every piece is different and is priced accordingly.

SKULLS
- Deer or small skull — $600 to $1,000
- Large skull (moose, impala, etc.) — starting at $1,400
Each piece takes 20+ hours of hand work depending on the scope.
You supply the piece, or I can source one for you.
I ship anywhere you're willing to pay to ship to.
How it works.
Step 1: You reach out
Tell me what you have. Your own trophy, a shed you found, or let me source something
for you. We talk through the vision: colors, scenes, and style.
Step 2: I get to work
Every piece is built by hand in Lewistown, Montana. Layered paint, custom textures,
and a resin finish that protects it for generations. 20+ hours minimum. A 30-50% non-refundable deposit is required before all project startups.
Step 3: It ships to your door
Carefully packed and shipped anywhere in the country.
When it arrives, it's ready to hang.
Made in Montana. Built to Last.
I'm Joe Ziolkowski, a self-taught artist based in rural Lewistown, Montana. I've spent years refining a process that takes natural forms, bones, antlers, the things hunters and ranchers find beautiful, and turns them into finished art that belongs on a wall. Everything I work with is ethically sourced.
Every piece is one of a kind. And every commission starts with a conversation.
