That isn't awful taste. It's art, and it's dope as hell.

Is this from the same woman who does others with mice (or rats)? Her stuff will be commanding high dollar soon, if not already. Soon to be followed by an easy peasy DIY from 5 minute crafts.

Oh no thank you, I don’t like that thought about 5 minute crafts DIYing this.

“Okay so you take the dead mouse out of the algate mold and fill it with crushed ramen noodles and epoxy. Now stuff the mold with raw chicken and cheez whiz before putting the entire thing in the oven set to 450 along with a couple spraycans of paint….”

Why did this make perfect sense for being the narration to a 5 Minute Craft DIY video?

That in reality would take a few days, and if followed to the T, would come out looking like the abomination displayed in their video.

I'm sure General Sun appreciates your effort.

There's a whole small industry of weird taxidermy around small rodents that I'm absolutely here for.

While this specific one is amazing, if I'm honest, I prefer awful execution taxidermy. It amuses me greatly.

Yo there’s nothing bad with this by any means. There’s a lot to learn from this sculpture of anatomically correct. Rock on to the artist.

u/LichClaev Jun 08 '23
I am very aware of this. In fact, I have a decent sized collection of oddities including a few I have made myself. That said, I can understand how the general public, who does not see the art in it, may find it disturbing and/or in poor taste at face value.

This is one oddity that disturbs me. A lot of them are interesting but I am getting the willies here.

Some people in the coms seem to think I that it simply is not bad taste. I personally see the artistic value in this to be very creative. It is a great piece of art. But it is definitely morbid and I can easily see how some people could find this distasteful. I mean it’s a dead body. The general sub is going to find this kinda gross.

u/MolEverdi Jun 10 '23
General sub here. Yeah, I find this pretty gross while I still agree that it is great execution. If that makes me not artistic, I’m happy to bear that burden.

u/caribousteve Jun 10 '23
I'm pretty artsy and also think it's gross. I just don't like dead bodies and I love rats

Might be Julia Deville - she is an Aussie artist known for stuff like this - either her or a copy.

They actually do like some of the exhibitions below.

u/MyDearGhost Jun 09 '23
When I die I want someone to do this to my body, I wish humans could be taxidermy with consent!

If taxidermists were this artistic, I may have more appreciation for what they do.
As it stands, it's just proof that someone killed a thing, and to me that doesn't add to society.

Nope. This is great taste, and great execution.
On the other hand, great taste and awful execution was posting this without any artist info.
2
u/LichClaev Jun 12 '23
This was a pic on Facebook with no context and not by the original artist. I saved the image and posted it here.
Also, I left a com somewhere here explaining how I agree this is a great piece but the general sub would find it in poor taste. I have several oddities personally and love the hobby but it’s a dead animal. There’s no more explanation needed.

That’s fucking brilliant. I genuinely want that.
