Steampunk-Taxidermy-by-Lisa-Black-1

New Zealand artist Lisa Black modifies broken taxidermy animals with mechanical parts such as antique hardware or old clock parts. After finding a damaged, stuffed fawn at a garage sale, she was so inspired that she decided she felt she had to “fix” it by adding mechanical limbs, organs, and other crucial pieces. Some of her work, like the crocodile seen below, even includes working gears in place of the heart.
Despite what one might think, Lisa’s work is driven by a desire to celebrate the beauty of animals. She is a highly passionate person with a deep respect for the animal kingdom. Her work is also somewhat influenced by the trans-humanist movement, a belief that is helping humanity embrace the use of technology on an intimate level.

@MELODY You are the idiot. You apparently have no clue what art is. I'm a christian but, I am also an artist. It's people like you who discourage great artists. You should stop and take a look around you there are way more problems in this world worth being concerned about. Maybe you should aim your harsh words towards a more worthy cause. IDIOT.

You should take this idea to human bodies. Animals = boring.

I think this is amazing, This is a form of art and even though a taxidermy piece is not something I would normally have I would love to have one of these. I hope to see more of this!

Taxidermy makes me rather squeamish to begin with (just the idea of having a preserved dead animal around is creepy to me), but I think this is an interesting idea and done well.

Quoting Melody:

You are the reason I hate idiots.

Melody, you are the reason trolls exist. Your cry-baby response to intentionally inflammatory and baseless comments is what makes the crap side of the internet go 'round. Bullies only exist as long as victims do.

Gat_00; I can't believe your insane bigotry. You are a disgusting human being for
a) assuming that you know Christian's race because of simple comments and
b) speaking that way about a person's skin tone.

You are the reason I hate idiots.
