SCOTT BREDING Bull Rider PRCA member 1985-2000 “I pretty much stay with Western art with lots of bucking horses and bucking bulls. I’ll draw everything, from what happens when moving cattle or when someone gets in a horse-wreck. In rodeo, I have buddies who will want a painting or drawing, and I’ve seen enough of them that I can piece the puzzle

together based on what they tell me.”

AARON MACY Tie-down Roper PRCA member since 2014 “I got started in high school because I was interested in the cowboy art of silversmithing and metalwork. I make anything from spurs to jewelry and knives. I do everything from scratch, but the hardest thing to make would be a pair of spurs, since you have to have both pieces exactly the same, and the fitting is the most challenging.”

LUKE CREASY Bareback Rider

PRCA member since 2008 www.creasycreations.com “When I do a painting it’s because I want to do something new. When I’m driving home from a rodeo, an image takes shape. When I get home, I’m ready to take a break. It’s something that overtakes me, and it’s a break from the real world. “With the kids book ( ‘What I Play When Dad’s Away’ ), I was driving back home after failing to make the NFR, and I really missed my son. I’d sacrificed a lot of time with him to get to the NFR, and I missed him a lot. Then I wrote a book, not intending to write a book. The kid (in the book) is basically my son, he plays pretend games to keep from missing his dad who is off rodeoing, and my son loves to pretend to be a dinosaur.”

PARKER BREDING Bull Rider PRCA member since 2011 “Ever since I was little, I had an obsession with drawing bulls.

That is all I would do in preschool. Something about the way a bull is built just fascinates me.”
