*Although not graphic, some may not be able to stomach seeing skinned or mummified creatures. So those with sensitive stomachs or affiliations with cats, rats, goats, pigs, etc..., it may be best to not view the web page.
While surfing the net this day, I came upon a most interesting webpage, which happened to be titled Custom Creatures: Taxidermy Arts.
What struck me interesting about this site is that it offers preserved, mummified, and other embalmed sorts of artworks. She seems to make art by setting creatures in interesting poses, making a scene of several creatures, or combining creatures to formulate pieces.
The best section of the website is the Fantasy Section.
But my real intention of this thread is this:
Would you purchase, if you had the means to, artwork like this? Or is taxidermy, let alone this type, not something that you can stomach or simply do not care for? Or is taxidermy meant for trophies, not displaying some kind of morbid artwork?
Or do you even consider taxidermy to be artwork at all?
Personally, I would purchase a few pieces like this, such as Capricorn, but having more than one would make my house feel like some strange Ripley's Believe It or Not episode...
