I finished working on my taxidermy jackalope.

She has real roe deer antlers and a wooden base. The pattern on the wooden base is that of my nan's old wallpaper, which I digitized from an old photo and recreated to line up in a repeating manner, as the original would have. Since rabbits used to live on the property, I figured it would suit this rabbit rather well.

I've been meaning to work on her since October, but now she is happily mounted and watching over my living room. I've named her Irina.

Six new pieces using snake bones to make wings, three in shadowboxes and three in domes.

the duo based off this song because the two lead singers sound so much alike them its hard not to imagine them singing this together whenever i listen to their songs Goodbye Lulu - YouTube

A super cool rogue taxidermy project made by Erich Jason Carter, a coyote skin mounted on a cougar form

i filled a hamster with beans. (a soft mount in the loosest sense. he is stuffed with polyester stuffing and weighted beads!)

We are restocked on two headed chicks!

💘 For Valentine’s Day ~ An oldie but goodie from 15 years ago. Titled "Forever Yours", this #TaxidermySculpture was commissioned by a gentleman as a gift for his fiancé on her birthday. The entire exterior is rabbit skin, including the heads and faces. The fur is dyed and the bare skin is painted. This type of work was unprecedented at the time and my unorthodox use of taxidermy materials landed this sculpture in a few mags back in the day, including the feminist lifestyle magazine BUST in 2009. Garishly colored animals continue to be some of my favorite things to create and remain among my signature works. Another one will be moving from the sketchbook to the workbench soon so stay tuned ~

PEOPLE ARE UGLY

& PEOPLE ARE EVIL

DESTRUCTIVE & GREEDY,

WE’RE PROUD & UNGRATEFUL

THE WORLD WOULD BE SO MUCH

BETTER OFF WITHOUT US

ru actually kidding me

I find a cool band on spotify. listen to them a bunch. google them and apparently the frontperson is in jail for sexually abusing a minor. Literal pedophilia why can’t i ever find good music

I know you want to focus on conservation but do you have any interest in making hybrid taxidermy and if so do you have any dream creatures you'd like to Frankenstein together

So many!! If I had the time/tools to make custom forms I'd wanna do some realistic Pokémon taxidermy out of scrap/salvage/roadkill hides or ones inspired by cryptids and mythological creatures. I also wanna do some repo taxidermy of extinct animals. I made a wolpertinger and kirin for my senior exhibition in college and had ton of fun creating them and have some plans for future mounts. Just need time and to win the lottery so I can buy the forms I need 😭

Recreated early horse at the museum in Berlin, most likely made with the skin of a wild boar piglet. It's presented next to the Przewalski horse (the love of my life)

Clever use of the skin of an abundant animal to recreate an extinct animal. Real skin and hair makes something look so much more lifelike! This is, in my opinion, a great example of rogue taxidermy.

rabbit foot earrings! these are from an otter mini rex.

Entering into urban lore relatively recently is the purple squirrel phenomenon. And theories abound. The first purple rodent was purportedly spotted in 1997 in Minnesota. The second sighting wasn’t until 2008 when photos of a purple squirrel made the newspapers in England. Then, in 2012 a Pennsylvanian couple trapped a purple squirrel. Before releasing the animal they took several photos of it that gained international internet attention. Many species of animals with silver or gray fur can appear to have a lavender hue under certain lighting conditions and this could account for some purple squirrel sightings, however, it can’t explain the intense purplish shade of the animal photographed in England or the specimen captured in Pennsylvania. Many people dismiss the photos as hoaxes saying the images have been digitally altered or the animals were dyed. But other people believe purple squirrels could actually exist and have offered varying explanations. Some suggest the animals came into contact with discarded ink toner, while others claim a tumble into the reservoir of a porta-potty chemical toilet could have tinged their fur. Another theory proposed their fur became stained while feeding on pokeberries which are used by crafters to produce organic dyes for textiles. There has also been some disconcerting conjecture that their color could be caused by the ingestion of large amounts of bromide, a waste product of the natural gas mining industry. Naturally occurring bromine-like compounds allow some species of sea snails to produce purple secretions, but bromine is not normally found in land mammals. Whatever the case, the actual existence of these squirrels remains unproven, thus earning our little purple friends urban legend status. You now have your Google rabbit hole for the evening. You’re welcome.
