Ever wanted a stuffed animal with a little more bite? Then the Urban Beast Project is for you. Hundreds of stuffed animals "taxidermied" into their more feral cousins.
And if you've ever wanted a small gallery of grille pets, they've got one.
Funny somebody should mention grille pets. This was in today's NYTimes.

Urban Beasts are recycled skins of thrown out stuffed animals taxidermied to create feral relatives.
That's the coolest thing I've heard all day. Morbid and very interesting. I wanna play too.

Reminds me of a video I once saw where one of those dancing and singing stuffed animals was stripped of fur so it looked like a skeleton. Alas, I have no link, but it's an idea I want to try soon.

This is superior to much of the grad student output of America's art schools.

Awesome idea. And the side project, Beast Blender, looks like it'll be fun when the gallery gets populated and more creatures are added.
Too bad I can't spend more than a few minutes at a time on that site. (Back when I made my very first Geoshitties site, I thought white on black with red links was cool too, not realizing how hard on the eyes it can be.)
