Cheetah ~ 5 Booms ~ 47″ W x 19″ H ~ $2,500

I love the feeling of speed in this guy. I had a customer who returned from photographing cheetahs in the wild of Africa.

Coincidentally, I happened to be working on a cheetah design but my first three designs didn’t fly; or not all pieces flew so I had to ditch those concepts to finally get this design which works amazingly well.

The tail, closely resembling crude aboriginal shapes, was the most difficult to solve needing many redesigns. “Cheetah” now written in the tail was not originally intended; but I decided to add the clarity after people kept calling it by other cat names.
