So I've decided I'd like to generate some interest in my DA, so I'm offering a free shaded tag (150 x 150) or unshaded large art to the person to catch my kiriban! Simply screenshot and send it to me in a note. Good luck! (:

I've decided to separate my other art from my taxidermy, oddities, and curiosities, so that individuals that follow me on this DA can choose whether or not to view images of taxidermy, pelts, wet specimens, and the rest of my collection. I am planning on working on soft mounts, wet specimens, and other fun things (like curiosity bottles, jewelry, etc.) on that account as well and much of it will be for sale so if you're interested, please follow me there! I already have images of my entire collection posted. And link me to your oddity accounts as well! I always follow back. (: apoddities.deviantart.com apoddities.deviantart.com apoddities

WARNING: This journal will contain pictures of preserved (dead) animals. These are cruelty free specimens that died of natural causes. So I spent a few hours browsing Etsy, Ebay, and Tumblr for wet mounts earlier, just because I think they're beautiful and interesting. I recently started following "Shop Oddities" on Tumblr, through which I found Miguel Gomez's wonderful Etsy shop. I was looking through his stock, when I stumbled across a listing for two Crested Gecko hatchlings preserved in a jar for only ten dollars! I did a quick commission and snatched them up immediately. They'll be the very first wet specimens in my collection, which
