Rogue taxidermist in the Netherlands

Despite residing in the Netherlands, dead-stuff sculptor Van Essie is a member of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists. I love this little girl duckie thing. I think the dollie just makes it.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This is a lot less interesting than the mental images “Rogue Taxidermist” conjures.

“Rogue taxidermist” sounds like Johnny Depp’s next role.

“rogue” brings to my mind something out there attacking at random, like a rogue wave or a rogue grizzly.

in that sense, i imagine a rogue taxidermist as a transient who taxidermizes random animals without authorization.

“officer, i let fluffy out in the garden for a pee and when i came back she was stuffed and mounted in this attack position.”

“well chief, looks like a rogue taxidermist.”
