Im a sculptor living in St Louis. I use a lot of cardboard and other under appreciated materials to create taxidermy style art pieces. You can find my work at Houska Gallery here in STL or contact me directly for current available pieces or commissions.

Zoo day!

I guess I didn’t take many pics of animals today. The kids and two friends were enough to keep me busy but the zoo has the Halloween decor up! My fav was the vampire chile.

Oh no! I just remembered there are tomatoes in the door pocket of my truck that my 4yr old nicked from the school garden. Also, I hope your tomatoes ripen.

Right? Still don’t have a reply back

Justin King @justinkingdesigns.bsky.social · 2d

Yeh, I have a responsibility to my kids. They didn’t asked to be pulled from the ether. They don’t owe me shit. It’s my job to help them be human, to love to be alive.

You can use that one if you want.

My most recent one from last year! Had a new friend (him in the second pic wearing a pumpkin) who'd just moved up from Mexico and he'd never done pumpkin carving before. I saw this vaguely skullish pumpkin and mentioned Calavera and he urged me to go for it - really proud of how it turned out!

A pumpkin, wider at the top and narrowed toward the bottom somewhat like a skull, which has been carved into (but not carved right through) in a design like a Calavera, the decorated skulls associated with Dia de los Muertos in Mexico, with flowery designs around the eyes, nose, and teeth.

No matter how you spell it, it’s a good message.

I’m holding up a wish written on the cardboard dragon scales I’m using for the the finish on my sculpture.

Safe for work, made by me, a human and totally fungible!

Heron sculpt im working on. First coat of paint. It’s made from a recycled coat rack.

Buffalos unite!! Myself and Bess Kalb showing off our respective additions to bison culture.

Myself working on a dragon’s tail made of cardboard while talking about technique so to a young artist at a local makers space for kids.

T hi is is the head section of the dragon. All in all I’ll have about 30’ of undulating cardboard dragon going in and out of the ceiling at the magic house.
