Gothic Taxidermy: No Parking On Pike

I can only imagine that No Parking On Pike got it's shop name from constantly trying to park on the pike while collecting roadkill. That's just a guess. If that makes you a little squeamish, focus on how Linda Young Hutchinson turns disaster (for the creatures) into beauty for us to enjoy. I love her very Gothic sensibility in how the subjects are treated and how Hutchinson honors the creatures.

What an awesome display! These put my plastic and rubber frogs to shame.
