I guess that a lot of celebrities have bought stuff for me or commissioned work for me or I go to their houses and fix their taxidermy and hang it up for them.
Let's see. So for Drew Barrymore, I did some framed butterflies to hang on the wall. And then for Amy Sedaris, I did a pheasant. And then for Adam Jones, he's the guitarist of Tool, I did a ram head with four horns on it and a goat head for the band Slayer.
Yeah, definitely.
Sure. A lot of what I do is called anthropomorphic taxidermy. So it's kind of giving life human characteristics or activities to the taxidermy. So behind me here, I have a raccoon cowboy. So it's a raccoon wearing a cowboy hat and a red bandana around his neck. And he's doing finger guns with his paws. And that was actually for Justin Long and Kate Bosworth. It's shipping to LA.
And then the one next to it is actually a squirrel riding a horse, waving a cowboy hat. Cowboy theme happening here. And that one's for Maura Tierney, who's an actress from the show ER.
Yes. So that one is probably one of my best sellers that went viral online. I made one once and then I put it online in my online shop that people could just click and buy it.
Oh, geez. I don't know. I write down things in the middle of the night sometimes that make no sense at all. So who knows?
Yeah, a mount. A good mount.
So taxidermy is if you see like the mannequin behind me on the one side. So this is a Himalayan goat on one side that's mounted with the skin on it already. And the one on the other side is just a mannequin with just a form. So it's an anatomically correct mannequin to that specimen.
So there's taxidermy supply companies, dozens of them in the US, where you can order your deer mannequin or skunk mannequin, and then you basically, it's kind of tailoring in reverse. You whittle down your mannequin or build up your mannequin to custom fit it to your skin. And then you use glass eyes that are also anatomically correct to the specimen, to the millimeter, a wire for the tail.
And then you do, you know, you kind of clay for musculature and sculptural work and sew it up, do your hair and makeup, do airbrushing, painting. So there's a lot, it's a lot of sculpture. Yeah. This is how I get ready in the morning, too.
Thanks for having me on then. Oh, you're welcome.
No.
I guess so.
