In this collection of taxidermy art, you’ll find a winged monkey with a fez and a martini glass, a jewel-encrusted piglet, a bionic fawn, and a polar bear balancing on a floating refrigerator. Author Robert Marbury makes for a friendly (and often funny) guide, addressing the three big questions people have about taxidermy art: What is it all about? Can I see some examples? and How can I make my own? He takes readers through a brief history of taxidermy (and what sets artistic taxidermy apart) and presents stunning pieces from the most influential artists in the field. Rounding out the book are illustrated how-to lessons to get readers started on their own work, with sources for taxidermy materials and resources for the budding taxidermist.

A quirky, timely, and disturbingly beautiful how-to taxidermy guide, emphasizing ethical sourcing and personal expression Whether inspiration came from an exhibition at an edgy art gallery, a visit to the Natural History Museum, or the sight of your crazy uncle’s jackalope, more and more people are opening up to the fun and wonder of taxidermy. A mix of art, science, and a touch of alchemy, taxidermy lets you engage with the natural world in ways most other people don’t. In Stuffed Animals, Divya Anantharaman and Katie Innamorato demystify the practice, shatter the gross stereotypes, and make taxidermy accessible to anyone, anywhere. Committed to ethical and sustainable sourcing, Anantharaman and Innamorato are part of the vanguard of young taxidermists who bring a sense of fun and experimentation to this old-school hobby. In their sold-out classes in Brooklyn, they teach hundreds of taxidermy novices how to create mantle-worthy pieces out of small birds and mammals. Both a helpful how-to manual and a strangely captivating gift book, Stuffed Animals is the definitive guide to a growing movement.

This fine work contains everything you'll need to know about the art of taxidermy. Part I contains several chapters on the subject of collecting, skinning and mounting birds. The second part contains a wealth of information on collecting and mounting mammals. There is also a final chapter on the subject of reptiles, batrachians and fishes. This antiquarian text was originally published in 1883 but is still of huge value today. It has been republished here with a brand new introductory essay on taxidermy.

A humorous look at what happens when taxidermy goes terribly wrong, by the founder of the hit website crappytaxidermy.com. A relaxed toad enjoying a smoke and a brew. A cat with eerily flexible front legs. A smiling lion with receding gums. Whether you choose to laugh or cringe at these spectacularly bad attempts at taxidermy, you won't be able to tear your eyes away from the curiosities inside. This volume brings together the very best of the worst (along with a DIY "Stuff Your Own Mouse" lesson by an Insect Preparator from the American Museum of Natural History), showcasing the most perverse yet imaginative anatomical reconstructions of the animal kingdom you'll ever see.

Here is the original source for age-old instructions on correctly mounting all types of game, from birds to deer to fish and beyond--a classic work revived with all of its masterful teachings and more than 250 precise illustrations. Guide to Taxidermy reveals the pleasure of doing taxidermy work for yourself and the profit in performing the art for others. The authors break down what early twentieth-century taxidermists needed to know to be collectors, properly use the tools of the trade, and clean, skin, and mount a wide variety of game from start to finish, including sections on mounting heads, tanning skins, mounting fish and reptiles, collecting and mounting insects and eggs, using tools and gathering materials, selecting eyes and wires, and much more.
