Artist's Comments

A little weasel, running into a bit of rabbit fur stuck on a thorn. He speeds towards it, head down, ears back and whiskers forward.

Wonderful little weasel, brought to me by the kids of a school. It has been preserved for educational purposes.

~To whom it may concern, (please read before accusing me of anything!)
NONE of the animals I work on are killed for the purpose of taxidermy only and most are found along side the road or come from bird/animal breeders in the area.

Ooo *pets the little weasel*... you know, taxidermy is also big in Bavaria and usually whenever I came across one of those preserved guys (usually larger bird, badgers, foxes and of course stag heads!) they'd freak the living crap out of me till well in my teens. I always wondered why that was, now I know. They just looked.. dead... somehow put back together (foxes and anything else that has remotely impressive teeth usually with a snarl on their face), but still dead.
I love your work, your little guys look like they are going to hop off their base in a second.

Leave it to me to not only just kill the mood but slaughter it savagely and then repeatedly run over it with a tank.

I do like how both this guy and the mole look very much like living creatures, rather creatures who were once living but now are dead.

I know the kind of pieces you are talking about. Those ´things´ with marbles as eyes and evil looking faces! Very scary stuff indeed.

Thank you very much :)
