*CHOOSE SIZE WITH DROPDOWN MENU
3" Model production available once again, AND ITS CHEAPER!! So after many problems in the old prints, I had the files simplified slightly so they could be printed in a different material. This new material is actually a little cheaper, so with minimal detail lost, they are once again available and cheaper than before.
Parasitoid was made in 2012 using real animal bones and was an instant success. It was published in a number of magazines and websites including The Verge, i09, Beautiful Decay and more.
I built the original using found bones from a number of species as a tribute to the late HR Giger and the Alien franchise. It has been one of my most requested items and is one of the most difficult to recreate due to the number of bones involved.
Now this incredibly detailed piece is immortalized in plastic. Choose from 3" and 5" model using the dropdown menu. Comes mounted in black sand on a wooden base. I hand paint each and every piece.
FAQs & Polices
Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?
I sure do! It is up to you to be aware of your local laws, I am not responsible for any orders seized by customs. I have never had this happen and have shipped over 100 orders outside of the US in the last 6 months BUT this is a risk that YOU must accept.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Once shipped most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 2 and 12 weeks.
Are any animals harmed to create your artwork?
NO. I love nature and animals, they are the biggest inspiration for the work I do. I would never harm an animal and do my best to know my sources. Most of my bones are found or roadkill that I process myself. Specimens are byproducts of farmed animals so there is no harm on the natural ecosystem and these items are otherwise wasted.
Can I see your work in person?
I do not have a brick and mortar store and currently my studio is closed to the public. I do however sell at shows like tattoo conventions, horror conventions, and sometimes even flea markets. My work can also be found at art galleries and curiosity shops within the US. Since 2012 I have done shows in Chicago IL, Dallas TX, Minneapolis MN, Indianapolis IN, Kansas City MO, Atlanta GA, Cincinnati OH, and many more.
How do you clean your bones?
I get this a lot! I use maceration and peroxide methods. For an excellent source of information on the subject visit bonelust.blogspot.com
Do you accept donations?
Yes I do! I always need more bones for my work and greatly appreciate when someone is willing to help me out.
Do you accept custom orders?
All the time, it makes up a good chunk of my online income. I prefer to have at least 3 months to work on a project, I will let you know within a week if I will accept the challenge or not and provide you with an estimate. At this time you are expected to put down a 50% payment and we will get started! Sometimes projects can be rushed along, don't be afraid to ask.
Have I seen your work before?
Its a good possibility. Over the years several of my works have gone viral and been shared by places like Famous Monsters of Filmland, ThinkGeek, Blastr, Syfy, ect. I have been featured on several websites like The Verge, Beautiful Decay, Cult of Weird, and many more. My work has been published in magazines like Girls and Corpses, Bizarre, and others.
Where can I get that?
If you ask me anything like this, you won't get an answer. Do the work that I had to do.
