Western and Rodeo Art by Brandon Bailey

My friend, Clay Sullivan, was the second cowboy ever to ride Mr. T, the world- champion bucking bull owned by the Burns Rodeo Company out of Laramie, Wyoming. Clay rode that bull just to prove he could ride him; he didn't win a dime for his ride. I recall Clay telling me that as he rode, he could see Mr. T's bloodshot eye staring up at him the whole time. This piece captures their afternoon in Wheatland, Wyoming and all of the drama and power associated with that legendary ride.
