My Bio
Meddling with Nature is an ongoing body of work using varied media to describe the natural world and naturalist perspectives of the Victorian age and its application to modern culture. Work includes taxidermy, skeletal preparation, display apparatus designed for preservation as well as functional education, and scientifically based 2D and 3D representation of concepts relevant to Nature and the place of Humanity within it. The work of Meddling with Nature is all produced “from the ground up” and because of this, is heavily process oriented.

Final Saturday of the month means Open Studio time!
This month we present a live-feed from the MWN home studio. We will be looking at the skeletal-muscular system, how the kinetic aspect of our anatomy works, how the various elements are constructed, and how certain processes can go terribly terribly wrong. We will discuss the evolutionary impact of being human, and explore important adaptations of our kingdom to achieve remarkable specialization; from leaping frogs to why salmon is red and cod is white. Come join us in person at the studio, or log in to our live-feed. (more info coming soon.) We will answer questions and engage in comments

Birds are not as difficult to skin as some might think, however each type of bird presents different challenges.

If you are in the states, a good resource for cheap practice birds is www.birds4mounting.com I have most of my students go through them. A practice pheasant is as cheap as 20 bucks, and I have never had a problem with their service. As you skin one of these guys, use borax to aid in both preserving and providing grip to a fairly slimy operation. You can use borax as a finished preservative, or cho

Your work looks very natural and great. I have seen such delousional taxidermy that just did not have that life to it, moreover i think you incoporate humor very elegantly in your compositions too! + watch, i enjoy your work a lot!
How can it be that I have never come across your wonderful work before?!
You're an AMAZING artist and I don't know HOW you don't have more fans! You know what you should do that I've only seen once done? Taxidermy Pokemon.
do you sell your taxidermy?
I try to sell all the things!
cool! do you ship to Canada?
So long as whatever it is works out in customs, absolutely!
