"Call it hipster or call it art, rogue taxidermy’s popularity in New York and London is making its way to other urban locations in the United States..."

"... where young and creative people have taken to reinventing the centuries-old process of removing and rearranging the skin of a dead animal."

The Washington Post trend-spots.

No mention of the Dead Pals of Sam Sanfillippo. Madison, Wisconsin was so far out ahead of this hipsterism it isn't even funny.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent म्हणाले...: Hipster towns used to full of characters. Now they're full of goose-stepping, rent-seeking harridans and schlubs.; १३/९/१४, १०:४८ AM

Shorpy(.com) has a pic of a fancy lady wearing a stuffed white house-cat on her hat. (1920ish or so); १३/९/१४, ११:११ AM

Sam Sanfillippo goes back way before that.; १३/९/१४, २:०४ PM
Bob Boyd म्हणाले...: This may be new in urban locations, but jackalope probably outnumber bison now in the American west.; १३/९/१४, २:५३ PM

Douglas B. Levene म्हणाले...: I have a large, stuffed northern pickerel hanging in my Maine house - I caught it on a surface plug in shallow waters, about 40 years ago, fishing with my dad, and it brings back very happy memories. The taxidermist stretched the skin over a balsa wood model and then painted the skin to make it look like it was still alive. We don't have any animal heads, though, my wife doesn't like those. We have some big moose antlers, but those are dropped every year, you don't have to kill the moose to get the antlers. But I suppose if I was a hunter I'd want a trophy, although a whole stuffed moose would really take up a lot of room.; १३/९/१४, ७:४२ PM

Jesus Christ, Ann, you're discussing a trend, not just some guy.

I say it started in the 80s,...; १४/९/१४, १२:३९ PM
