Fish in a Squirrel Suit Taxidermy (Url)

Description

Url is quickly becoming an internet phenomenon. He has been featured in numerous blogs (Craftastrophe, Regretsy, Ugliest Products in the Universe, Crappy Taxidermy, and Oh Honestly Erin, to name a few) and has appeared in fine publications ranging from Bizarre magazine (#147) to the Wall Street Journal (online) to Field and Stream (online).

He is also the semi-official mascot of the Etsy's Dark Side Street Team and has traveled the country with the Cut Throat Freak Show.

A committed admirer made him his own LiveJournal page (http://inasquirrelsuit.livejournal.com/profile) and he even has his own fan art.

Check out this video of a song written about Url! - http://12seconds.tv/channel/Anda/168215

---------------

This is Url. Say "Hello." He may not understand you, but he finds comfort in the sounds of your voice.

He has been described by some as reminiscent of a Tim Burton character, though his true origins are dificult to determine. Whatever you decide, he is sure to consume your heart as he has mine.

Perhaps it's his foggy mammalian eyes, gazing sadly at a world that will never accept him. Or the rows of petite teeth peering uselessly from behind his downturned fish-lips. Maybe, even, you will be endeared by the raw and glistening tracts of road rash, fatally administered by a speeding vehicle to an unsuspecting fox squirrel - the carcass of which Url was forced to inhabit following a particularly messy boating accident that forever separated him from his trunk.

He's had a hard time. Please give him a good home.

Url will arrive at the destination of your choosing, safe and sound inside a 12" glass dome on a wood base. Shipping insurance is included for your peace of mind.

***Think Url is heinously expensive? Good, I want to keep him. But hey, free shipping!
