Specimen No. 21 (Booger)

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:45:39 -0500

$18.00
This specimen is nicknamed Booger.

The tests we performed on this range of six eyed specimens showed that they were actually highly visually impaired. They appear to have developed extra eyes to cope - not that any of them work particularly well.

He is approximately 1-1/2" tall.

Specimen No. 81 (Blooper)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:23:24 -0500

$20.00
We gave Specimen No. 81 to the last intern we fired as a parting gift because we felt that the specimen reflected his level of enthusiasm for work. We named it accordingly.

After he found a job as a sloth hygienist, he mailed Blooper back to us.

This specimen is about 2" long(not tall).

Specimen No. 31 (Red)

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 20:35:34 -0500

$20.00
Specimen No. 31 was mailed to Mr. Bender, the attorney overseeing the transfer of the specimens from the estate of the late Mrs. Edna Lee Ellis. We are unsure how this happened.

He named this specimen Red, but eventually returned it.

Specimen No. 60 (Goggle)

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:35:23 -0500

$18.00
This specimen is nicknamed Goggle.

The tests we performed on this range of six eyed specimens showed that they were actually highly visually impaired. They appear to have developed extra eyes to cope - not that any of them work particularly well.

He is approximately 1-1/2" tall.

Specimen Box No. 1 (Specimen No. 98 - Gork)

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:25:04 -0500

$130.00
This is a well preserved, but unfinished, autopsy of Specimen No. 98(apparently named Gork) housed in a cigar box. We believe it to be one of Charles Ellis' unfinished experiments.

The specimen is in good condition, except for the fact that it is dead and cut open.

The cigar box has unnecessary airholes on top, and four viewing holes(one each on the sides, and two in front). It also has a sawtooth hanger on the back for easy hanging.

Fungal Specimen Box No.2

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:25:04 -0500

$80.00
This box is filled with fungal specimens from Ellis Grove and notes and sketches about them, penned by either Edna Lee or Charles Ellis.

It contains five different kinds of fungal specimens, housed in a reused cigar box.

The box has a sawtooth hanger at the back, for easy wall hanging.

Specimen No. 57 (Eye-Eye)

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:47:39 -0500

$20.00
A conversation in our lab -

Martin, our head researcher: "Look, you can't call this one Eye-Eye."

Intern: "Why not? Look at his eye."

Martin: "Right, he has one eye. You can call him Eye."

Intern: "That's sounds really stupid."

Martin : "You're really stupid."

Intern : "I'm going to call him Eye-Eye anyway"

Tentacle Collection No. 1

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:39:34 -0500

$50.00
We found these in a box labeled "Biohazard! Do Not Touch!" Since the Center of Otherworld Science provides health insurance, we opened the box.

To be honest, after all that build up, the results were somewhat dull - they look like tentacles inside CO2 cartridges to us. We're fairly sure that this means Mrs. Ellis was an avid baker...or played a lot of paintball.

We're offering canisters #1, #3 and #7 up for sale in this batch. They are the ones with the tentacles sticking out. As this means that the contents have been compromised(but very well preserved), we prefer to focus our research on the other samples in the box.

Specimen No. 77 (Slug)

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:38:59 -0500

$20.00
We discovered this specimen in a really gross paper cup. We've cleaned and restored him to his original pristine, well preserved condition, and he seems pretty about it.

We nicknamed him Slug, because one of our interns said he looked like a banana slug. We learned later that our intern had never seen a banana slug.

Specimen No. 28 (Blore)

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:38:59 -0500

$20.00
This specimen sort of depresses us. Look at him! He looks so sad! Sigh.

We nicknamed this little guy Blore. Our interns are so terribly non productive when he's in the lab. They're too busy going "Awww, poor guy."

Clearly, we need more focused interns.

Specimen No. 17 (Durka)

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 01:26:52 -0500

$20.00
We found this specimen in the hamster Habitrail in the room devoted to the hamster Habitrail in the Ellis Estate. Apparently, they really loved their hamsters, although we found none, dead or alive. This specimen is not a hamster.

Squork Mini Specimen(Purple)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:47:34 -0500

$10.00
Notes from the Center of Otherworld Science:

"We named these creatures Squorks after finding a large biscuit tin full of them. We've been studying them for months and we haven't figured out more about them, other than they're kind of squishy(when not hard and preserved) and have five arms and six eyes. We're putting the rest on sale to raise money towards the study of more interesting specimens".

Limited edition - only three of each colour will be sold! They are about 1" tall.

This is the PURPLE specimen in the pictures!

Octopus Meets Shoe 8x10 Matte Print

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:35:20 -0500

$16.00
This is a digital print of my original artwork "Octopus Meets Shoe."

He found a new friend, but it's not very interesting. That really sucks.

8"x10" printed on matte photo paper.

Octopus Poot 5x7 Matte Print

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:31:51 -0500

$12.00
This is a digital print of my original artwork "Octopus Poot."

It's a farting octopus. I'm sure they fart too.

5"x7" printed on matte photo paper.

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:29:16 -0500

Squork Mini Specimen(Blue)

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:47:00 -0500

The Abandoned Dissection of Lucky

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:29:43 -0500

$30.00
This specimen was named "Lucky" in Dr. Ellis' notes, which we discovered close to this specimen. This implies that he had a fantastic, if morbid, sense of humor.

This specimen is nailed down to a wooden plaque, and we're still not sure why Dr. Ellis couldn't have just made an order from one of the piles of scientific equipment catalogs that we're still clearing out of his basement. The specimen is well preserved.

The wooden plaque is approximately 4" tall and 4" wide. It will ship with eye screws and hanging wire separately; if you would like us to install them prior to shipping, please let us know(in the checkout notes to seller) and we will gladly do so for free!

Mushroom and Moss Wall Plaque

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:31:12 -0500

$28.00
Finally! A piece of work from Mrs. Ellis' art collection that isn't creepy, morbid or weird!

This piece combines some mushrooms that we have also noticed around Ellis Pond and moss into a visually appealing combination of...mushrooms and moss.

The wooden plaque is approximately 6" tall and 4" wide. It will ship with eye screws and hanging wire separately; if you would like us to install them prior to shipping, please let us know(in the checkout notes to seller) and we will gladly do so for free!

The Unfinished Dissection of Rocky and Jeem.

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:25:28 -0500

$65.00
This appears to be an unfinished double dissection of two specimens.

From the notes of Dr. Charles Ellis', which we found near these specimens.

"Blast! I have spent all day fiddling with these miniature organs, but they resemble nothing I have seen before! There is something that appears to be a small intestine, but I am fairly sure it is not used for digestion. Fortunately, I have many more of these specimens to observe - even if my dear Edna insists on naming them all. I hope she won't be too disappointed when she finds these two missing. I believe she had named one Rocky, and the other Jeem."

These two specimens are mounted on a slice of tree. We are not sure why Dr. Ellis chose not to use trays of agar. Despite the incomplete dissection, both specimens are well preserved in their current state.

The wooden plaque is 8-1/2" wide and 6" tall. It will ship with eye screws and hanging wire separately; if you would like us to install them prior to shipping, please let us know(in the checkout notes to seller) and we will gladly do so for free!

Gelatinous Cube Miniature

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:31:17 -0500

$20.00
The Adorable Monster Gelatinous Cube figure is individually hand cast with clear resin from an original sculpt and mold.

This is an Gelatinous Cube that has not eaten recently, so he's empty. I will be releasing non-hungry cubes soon.

The base is handmade from polymer clay and is removable(the one that comes w/ this cube is the plain dirt floor base, not the dungeon floor base).

It's in scale with 4th Edition dungeon tiles(as a 10'x10' large monster)!

Since each Gelatinous Cube is handmade and casted, resin imperfections exist and no two are alike - it's part of the charm!

Shambling Mound Miniature

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:53:28 -0500

$40.00
This is a one of a kind Adorable Monster Shambling Mound figure! It's an original sculpt from polymer clay with some mixed media bits.

He comes with no base, but is in scale with a Large D&D monster and takes up about a 10'x10' space(in scale - he's about 2" tall)!

Specimen Shadow Box No. 1

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:46:23 -0500

$20.00
We're not sure whether it was Charles Ellis or Mrs Ellis that decided to frame detached specimen limbs, but apparently they did.

This 4x4 shadowbox contains an arm belonging to an unidentified specimen, and some notes about it. Our head researcher jokingly calls it "Grendel".

(note: the shadowbox is plastic, but is not noticeably so.)

Specimen No. 96 (Slubby)

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:46:22 -0500

$20.00
If Slubby were a live specimen, we imagine that he'd be very charming and happy-go-lucky, albeit a bit slimy and drooley.

However, he is a well preserved specimen for the Ellis Estate, so we don't really know for sure.

We found him in the kitchen, under a can of beans.

Specimen 7 Postcards

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:18:41 -0500

$3.00
Here at the Center of Otherworld Science, we are devoted to the collection and study of the specimens found on the estate of Mr. and Mrs Ellis. However, that doesn't mean we don't make merch.

These Specimen 7 postcards feature two of our favourite specimens, front and back.

You get two of each!

Creepy Bunny Doll No. 3

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:11:30 -0500

$20.00
We found a collection of these creepy dolls in a room that looked like a nursery. Mrs. Edna Lee Ellis and her husband Charles were childless, and we have no reason to believe that she was ever pregnant. However, Mrs. Ellis appears to have made a plethora of very odd toys and stuffed animals.

This is a creepy bunny made out of a purple wool recycled sweater with a creepy pink clay face.

Despite what Mrs. Ellis' original intentions may have been, this bunny doll is not child safe for any child that still chews on things, puts toys through washing machines or throws things off high places(like roofs).

Specimen No. 97 (LouLoo)

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:39:49 -0500

$25.00
For all intents and purposes, we consider Specimen No. 97 to be one specimen. However, some of Charles Ellis' notes appear to suggest that this was once two specimens - Lou and Loo - that had merged at a later point.

To keep things simple, we refer to Specimen No. 97 as LouLoo.

Creepy Bunny Doll No. 4

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:39:49 -0500

$20.00
We found a collection of these creepy dolls in a room at the Ellis Estate that looked like a nursery.

Mrs. Edna Lee Ellis and her husband Charles were childless, and we have no reason to believe that she was ever pregnant. However, Mrs. Ellis appears to have made a plethora of very odd toys and stuffed animals.

This is a creepy bunny made out of a orange wool recycled sweater with a creepy green clay face.

Despite what Mrs. Ellis' original intentions may have been, this bunny doll is not child safe for any child that still chews on things, puts toys through washing machines or throws things off high places(like roofs).

Specimen No. 76 (Choco)

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:45:02 -0500

$20.00
If Specimen No. 76 was a bird, it would be a very, tiny bird.

We found it in a freezer at the Ellis Estate, which would theoretically mean that the specimen was perfectly preserved. It is in fact, perfectly preserved, even if the freezer looked like it hadn't been functional for over a decade.

We decided not to clean the freezer, but we did retrieve Specimen No. 76(nicknamed Choco) because it was pretty cute.

Tentacle Pendant No. 5

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:49:22 -0500

$26.00
When we found a box in the basement of the Ellis estate filled with various jewelry pieces, we assumed that they belonged to Mrs. Edna Lee Ellis. When we realized that they all contained specimen bits, we were surprised as we had thought that Mrs Ellis was not particularly involved in her husband's work.

We now believe that being both thrifty and crafty, she found many other purposes for her husband's post-dissection specimen bits.

This pendant consists of four green-ish tentacles(unfortunately, we cannot identify the specimen they were removed from) is set on an elaborate copper setting.

The pendant is about 1'-3/4" tall(the longer side of the oval) and does not come with a chain.

Specimen No. 52 (Pochette)
