Taxidermy Gone Awry: A Real Steampunk Turtle
By Great White Snark | March 30, 2010
So, yes, that is an actual turtle that has undergone taxidermy and has had its turtle guts scooped out to make way for a bunch of gears and other steampunky-type things. Or, you know… mostly gears.
Lisa Black taxidermy
To those of you freaked out that artist Lisa Black would create this steampunk turtle “sculpture” with organic parts: I have it on good authority that the turtle led a full, happy life of eating grass and taking forever to get anywhere.
Plus, c’mon… it’s just a turtle, people. It’s not like Lisa made steampunk sculptures out of a duckling or a fawn or anything.
AHEM.
P.S. Baby crocodile.

I can’t decide if these are super cool or super creepy. Maybe both.

That fawn is AMAZING! Totally want it, although it would greatly clash with everything else I own…

Cool. But let’s not imbue our animalian minions with too much power here…Can no one else foresee steam-punk armies rising up to retaliate for the countless millennia of human gorging, labor exploitation and sheep-f**king?

It’s not steampunk but it’s kind of the same idea: Have you seen the taxidermy beaver computer?
