Welcome to the Two-Headed Goose! (Known to friends and distant relations as Bertie and Gertie)
Almost three years ago I moved into a cute little house after years of studio and one bedroom apartments. I decided that it was perfect for the having of a Halloween Party. Each year The Party has sort of ballooned. This year promises to be a bit over the top if I manage to pull off everything I have floating around in my head. So I thought it would be fun to chart the progress in a blog separate from my normal illustration one.
So far I haven't had time to work on any actual projects, but I do always have it on the mind. Whenever I am out and about, if something catches my eye, I pick it up. Also, eBay is my friend. Found out earlier today my mom has hooked me up with several dozen pairs of glass eyes. So cool.
A couple recent acquisitions:

Surely those horns don't belong to whatever animal belongs to that skull? Or do they? They disproportionate... but very cool. Nice find.
As far as I can tell, it's a Thompson's Gazelle. (I have named it Karl.) I can't tell if it's real or not, so if a fake, they did a good job. "They" being those stinkin' fakers. :-)
I am so looking forward to the day that I can come in person to see your fab halloween affair! I love all you have done. BTW my father-in-law would taxadermy anything you want...he just loves to do it and I know it would be fun for him.
