‘misfits’ by thomas grünfeld



german artist thomas grünfeld has created a wide variety of artworks in different medium over his
career. on of his stand out series is ‘misfits’ a collection of hybrid taxidermy animals. you could
describe these pieces as animals collages as they meld two different animals together, one being
the body and one the head. the creations are real but they appear to be the sort of creatures
dreamed up by children.

I do love stuff like this. Check out the Rogue Taxidermists out of Minnesota in the US. They have been doing similar work for a few years.
