Master Sculptor
Monuments and Fundraising Projects for
Universities and Non-profits

Nationally acclaimed as one of the most talented
sculptors, painters and creators of wildlife art
today, Dick Idol is also regarded as one of
Americas premier outdoorsmen. He has
spent thirty years as a professional guide,
naturalist, writer, editor, public speaker,
conservationist, photographer, woodsman and
co-founder of North American Whitetail Magazine.
3
Dicks strongest passion, and perhaps his
greatest talent, was awakened in 1994 with the
completion of his first bronze sculpture of a
whitetail deer. His unparalleled body of artwork
since, including more than 40 bronze editions,
more bronze Ultra monumental sculptures than
any living artist and numerous paintings and
drawings, has established him as a true American
Master. Although Dicks early works were
purchased solely as works of art, an exceptional
business model was developed that allows
universities and other organizations to
commission world-class monuments to serve as
icons of their school or group and to raise
significant funds through the sale of bronze and
resin reproductions to alumni, fans, students,
parents and corporate supporters.

What Could a Dick Idol Monument Do For Your
University?
Example North Carolina State Wolfpack Club
Project

• Bronze wolfpack ultra-monument, approximately 30
  feet tall X 30 feet wide, of six wolves with
  special lighting and water effects to be
  installed in front of the new football operations
  center at Carter-Finley Stadium in December,
  2002.
• Four individual bronze wolf monuments to be
  installed at the four main entrances to the
  stadium.
• Two individual wolf monuments installed in
  high-traffic locations on campus.
• Model to be unveiled at a special homecoming
  event October 26, 2001 at Raleighs Memorial
  Auditorium (expecting 3,000-5,000 alumni and
  guests).
• Order taking for limited edition bronze and resin
  reproductions of both wolfpack monument and
  individual wolves will begin at the unveiling and
  continue indefinitely with direct mail campaign
  and ads in NCSU game programs and Alumni
  magazine.
• Major donors receive limited-edition bronze
  reproductions for their personal or corporate art
  collections valued at 25,000 and may have their
  name or that of their company inscribed in a
  special area near the monument at the stadium.
• Dick Idol Ventures to provide turn-key
  fulfillment for resin reproduction sales, which
  are projected to be in the thousands.
• Based upon this formula we can plan and implement
  a similar program for almost any school that
  could achieve very dramatic results.

Dick Idol Ventures, LLC
In 2000, Dick and a group of business leaders
from the apparel, home furnishings and licensing
industries formed Dick Idol Ventures, LLC in
order to build the definitive outdoor lifestyle
brand based upon Dicks unsurpassed creativity
and knowledge of the outdoors. The company has
signed several major licensing agreements. These
Dick Idol lines serve to enhance the image of
Dick and create greater demand (and value) for
his artwork.
By 2002, millions of consumers will own Dick Idol
designed clothing, furniture, home accessories,
rugs, outdoor gear and other licensed products.
17
Today, Dick Idol Ventures is an international
company taking Dicks unique artistic vision to
the furniture, home accessories and apparel
industries.

Why Are These Licensing Deals Important to Art
Customers?
Dick Idol is a well-known and highly-respected
figure in the outdoor industry and art world.
Dick Idol Ventures was formed less than a year
ago to make Dick Idol a household name by
exposing his talents to a wider audience. When
the Dick Idol lines of furniture, apparel,
footwear and floor coverings are launched and
marketed later this year by some of the top
companies in their respective businesses,
hundreds of millions of new people will be
exposed to the Dick Idol brand and
name. Popularity and name recognition are the
only factors (other than death) that can increase
the value of an artists works. An investment
today in a Dick Idol monument and limited edition
bronze and resin reproductions is sure to show a
dramatic increase in value in the future.

We look forward to working with you to create a
world-class, one-of-a-kind monument for your
school or organization. For more information,
