Out of season work
Outside the hunting season I thought I might try my hand at some taxidermy. You know being an artist and all that. Could never understand why it takes some so long to mount stuff. I can guarantee your work completed overnight.

I also specialise in all the American species as well. If your stuff needs stuffing then give me a call.

Looks good mate. May I suggest however that you try to get some good quality reference photo's. Wink

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

I also consider myself as a bit of a mountain Lion expert.



I think I successfully captured the moment of when the bullet first entered its bowel.

Andrew, awfully nice work indeed. Please send rates and address for shipping. Have a splendid jumbo and a croc that I would like you to do. The jumbo should prove interesting in that I need the tusks shortened to fit in the space allowed, and the croc must be "coiled" to fit in the corner as well. Turnaround time please...

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

I saw a book a few months ago titled, "Bad Taxidermy." Did these photos come from that book?

One (such as myself) never had a full appreciation of taxidermy until the crap is viewed. Hard to believe some of this stuff left the shop.

My new company GET STUFFED should attract a lot of attention.

And for all those who cannot afford full mounts I am offering a much cheaper alternative. Simply get your skinner to cut the head off in camp to save on freight.

Now, we see it.

Genius is often hard to recognize when it deviates from the accepted norm of the unwashed masses.

Picasso, Dali, Van Gogh. Cubism, collage, surrealism, impressionism.

Once we were blind, but now we see.

Van Gogh was never recognized for his artistic genius until after his death. Andrew, unless you act now, this may be your fate as well. Don't let your 'Lust for Life' slip away.

Before this is all lost forever, have you considered a large format coffee table edition of your work?
