Dave Kronen was an abstract painter moonlighting as a rare-animal importer when his monitor lizard died. "The vet said he could tell me what happened if I prepared the neck bone," he recalls. A local museum instructed him how to skin, gut, boil and bleach the carcass, and the emerging skeletal structure had an unexpected effect on Kronen. "The shapes of the bones were abstract forms, and everything about them--the texture, the holes, the way they were formed--meant something," he says. "Everything about them had developed through time to do a usable function."... When the museum offered to buy the skeleton, Kronen's fate was sealed. "I was an artist," he says. "I needed money, and this fascinated me." Fortified with a supply of fatalities from California zoos, Kronen launched a career preparing rare-animal bones for museums and schools.
