Taxidermy, and I'm actually really sad it's not legal to do that after your death where I live, because that's how I actually wanted it to be like

would you rather be taxidermied or be a wet specimen wait dont leave

Cult of the Bones / Kult Kości - my master's thesis. (This is only a small part of the project!)

Other parts of this project can be found on my blog / artstation :)

Each skull was sculpted manually (no slip casting etc) and decorated with various materials + decalcomania. These skulls are only a portion of the project, other things include jewelry, posters, serigraphs and other sculptures.

Just had to share this crazy elk euro!

This was most likely caused by an injury that happened early into the growth of the antler, while it was still soft and in velvet. Considering how close it got to the eye, he’s lucky the injury stunted it!

Unfortunately it probably blocked a good portion of his vision on his left side.

Either way, it makes for a super cool mount!

I swear some people will act like taxidermists are skinning animals alive

A tiger recently died in a famous zoo in my country, and people are up in arms about the zoo's decision to taxidermy it for research and educational purposes

The alternative is chopping it up and burning it in a furnace but I guess that's "What the tiger would have wanted"

The tiger never talked to you or me or anyone, but I guess acting emotional about a corpse puts you on higher moral ground and that means you know the tiger better than anyone who actually took care of or researched it

"The tiger wouldn't have wanted-" No. You don't want this. You're projecting.

Edit: Apparently people are not only planning a rally against this tiger's taxidermy, but harrassing the taxidermist in charge. This is bullshit.
