Eupora artist Edmond Shumpert adds lifelike details to a sculpture of TaTonka, the current bulldog who serves as "Bully," Mississippi State's mascot. The sculpture, commissioned by the university, will stand at the Junction, a green space just south of the M Club facility on campus. A dedication ceremony in August will officially welcome the piece as part of the "Bulldog" landscape. Shumpert's work has been displayed worldwide during his 39-year career as a professional sculptor.
