Meet Frank. He has three heads and creepy as hell. He is the creation of artist Sarina Brewer. Sarina (of Custom Creature Studios) is an artist and naturalist that “recycles the natural into the unnatural”. A graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Sarina specializes in oil painting and altering objects she finds. Unfortunately, in this case, her “found objects” of choice is animal remains. Over the last decade, Sarina’s use of animal remains in her paintings and sculptures has lead to taxidermy. Don’t worry about where she gets her animal remains from. For her art, she hunts down roadkill and discarded livestock. She also gets donations by pet owners for animals that has passed away (kinda messed up in my opinion). Sarina never kills any animals for her art work. She is actually a huge animal lover and an avid supporter of animal conservation. She participates in animal rescues and rehabilitation.

She recycles animal remains and creates supernatural creatures such as vampire rats, chimeras, capricorns, chupacabras, griffons, unicorns, and more. My favorite has to be the flying monkeys. She also does other pieces such “pickled pets” and “cryptic curios”. If you like these insane works of art, you can also purchase them. They would make an awesome center piece for your Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. Just to mistake the griffon for the actually turkey.

Hit the jump to see some of her great artwork.
