Default looking for a pattern

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

I am looking for a pattern for a bull. If there are any accountants or financial people out there, you are probably familiar with the Bull and Bear which signify an up or down market. Well, I'm looking for the bull preferably in sort of a 'ready to charge' stance.

I've checked google and can't find anything.

If anyone has a pattern or knows of one could you please let me know? :

Thanks
Chris

Wall street has a sculpture of a bull in front of the stock exchange that sounds exactly like what you are looking for, I bet you can find a pic of that on google search

Hi_Ho, That's exactly what I'm looking for. I've only been able to find a front view though. I know my brother-in-law has some pictures of it from his last visit there. The problem is, it's going to be a gift for him.

Maybe I can make up a story and get him to show me his pictures again :

Hi I'm working on the same project. He is a stock broker . Mine are mostly caricureture, and used Tom Wolfe's book 108 animal patterns. Another way is go on google and search for a specific breed IE Charloias, Herfords, Long Horns Etc. Hope this helps. Bill in Omaha

Icarve, I ran a search on google for images of charging bull, there are quite a few nice pics there:

Also stock market bull:

It really does depend on adding a descriptive word to the search, like 'charging'. I hope that helps!

Donna
P.S. good luck!
