Here is my cat Oliver, sleeping in a box. He looks like a Tribble.
An orange cat, curled up in a box, who has arranged his legs and head in such a way that it appears to be a ball of fur. His name is Oliver.

Recent NYer cartoon. Seemed appropriate.
A line drawing featuring a woman standing in front of shelves and tables filled with dozens of mason jar canned goods. Her husband is approaching from the right, saying, "You fermented everything?"

Happy New Year!

Here's Mortimer all decked out for Christmas. Merry Christmas, everybody! Share this post with your favorite Christmas art / photos. #art #animalart #fauxtaxidermy #christmas #holiday #christmasart
A black faux taxidermy antelope wearing a red Santa hat. The creature has large eyes, huge pointy animal ears, and a shit-eating-grin. It's mounted on a white paneled wall and photographed with a digital potato of a camera so it's a bit blurry.

Winona, congratulations on five thousand followers! I am sharing my favorite sculpture, a faux taxidermy named Mortimer, seen here wearing a festive holiday hat. I would be delighted to hear what you think. #art #fauxtaxidermy #animalart

Another WTF item from Oriental Trading Company... I clicked the link, it's very serious. Ad from Facebook.
A pair of pictures. On the left, a Merkin, which is a pubic hair wig. Seriously. And on the right, a set of plastic horse-head finger puppets.

Two of the six snowman ornaments I'm selling this year. Hand-painted and customized with a red fuzzy scarf. Each is $22, with free shipping for the U.S.A. Send me a message if you're interested in owning an Ed Tucciarone Christmas ornament this year! More to come soon, possibly!
Two identical snowmen, looking rather hopeful, wearing a black top hat, a red scarf, and a carrot nose. They each carry a broom. Actually they're made of painted wood, and they're being sold as ornaments.

Here is a photo from earlier in the year of my next faux taxidermy. It's the wooden armature that goes inside the styrofoam sculpture. I'll take a picture of that stage soon. #fauxtaxidermy #animalart #art
An incredibly messy room with books, boxes, and art supplies all over the place. In the center is a roughly shield-shaped piece of wood with an angled, somewhat vertical stick coming out of it. This is the armature for my next sculpture.

Here are some robot ornaments that I've made in years past. I don't have any more of these--they all sold out!
A silver robot ornament with screw heads for eyes, a black moustache, clock hands for arms, and ribbed beads for legs. A copper and gold robot ornament, consisting of a block of wood on top of a longer, narrower piece of wood. She has flower beads for eyes and clock hands for arms. Her chest features a heart that says "Made with Love". Her legs are two trumpet beads. She's smiling. A very silly, small wooden robot made out of blocks of wood. She is painted silver, with blue eyes and a pair of upholstery tacks serving as a sea-shell bra. She has a "grass skirt" made out of silver-colored tassels. Her function is to be a Christmas ornament.

This kind? I should think that would make very good spider legs.
Two lengths of white snap-together ball-joint armature links, plus two three-strand connectors, and two four-strand connectors.

In what has been an on-again, off-again tradition, I am once again producing Christmas ornaments for sale. This is one design (I got it at Michaels) that I am currently painting. I will have six available. Let me know if you're interested.

Here is my third faux taxidermy, Ludwig. He's supposed to be a deer but I took some liberties. He came out way bigger than I expected and his nose sucks, but he's finished and I like him.
A brown faux taxidermy with a black nose and grey antlers. It has big ears and light brown eyelids.

Here is Jerome, my second faux taxidermy. He is 100% artificial, too. His horns were cast from real horns, but they're plastic. He's loosely based on a blesbok antelope. They are found in South Africa and are my favorite animal. :)
A brown and white faux taxidermy, with long curvy horns. The ears are medium sized but the eyes are large. He has a big nose. His name is Jerome. A brown and white faux taxidermy, with long curvy horns. The ears are medium sized but the eyes are large. He has a big nose. His name is Jerome.

Here is the first faux taxidermy I made. His name is Mortimer. I based him loosely on the sable antelope. He is 100% artificial, with acrylic plush felt "skin" and sculpted eyes, horns, and teeth. His nose came out the best of all my sculpts.

Here's my very first Blue Sky post. Oliver the Cat. I hope you like him as much as I do! Well, maybe not that much.
