You wanna go see a dead body? On Saturday night, artist Nate Hill opened his studio to unveil a life-sized human sculpture sewn out of animal parts, appropriately titled the A.D.A.M.

It was great to see up close and we’re looking forward to the E.V.E. Project.

You can also read an interview with him in the Wildlife issue of ANIMAL magazine. Interestingly, Saturday’s unveiling coincided with the four year anniversary of a giant sperm whale exploding on the streets of Tainan.

Even if you missed the Chinatown Taxidermy Garbage Tour last month (we did), you can still join in the fun. Pour a glass of milk, grab a handful of Christmas cookies and tune into Chop Chop to learn how to turn your dead animal parts into something new and beautiful. Taxidermy is all the rage these days, so jump right in. There are plenty more episodes where this came from.
