#InstaArt: 3D faux taxidermy with Patrick Wayner

You know those chintzy cardboard animal wall mounts that are supposed to resemble taxidermy? Patrick Wayner looks at those and laughs. He brings 3D faux taxidermy to life through layering of reclaimed wood, acrylic, aerosol and vintage maps. The craftsmanship is so intricate that the pieces resemble the inter-workings of a an old clock. Wayners creations– bears, owls, rhinos, deer– bring majestic, decoupage woodland creatures right to your living room.

When you get the chance to make something for two great artists like @40threads and @scribeswalk you jump on that. Super honored to be able to take up some of their wall space. Happy belated birthday Scribe! . . . . #wrk #wood #woodart #woodgrain #woodworking #reclaimedwood #paintedpatchwork #handmade #layers #cutouts #scrollsaw #scrollsawart #excalibur #614 #614art #614artists #animalart #artlife #art #woodcraft #woodartist #artcollective #artnerd #artistspotlight #artistmafia #fauxtaxidermy #mixedmedia #vintagemaps #acrylic #aerosol
