GREY'S ANATOMY WEEKLY PROMO - Video

Murder and mayhem mix as the class divide between the wealthy elite and close-knit group of maids working for the rich collides. Sex, secrets and murder combine with a fun outlandish tone that's sure to make Devious Maids the new guilty pleasure of the summer.

I recently spoke on the phone with Rebecca Wisocky about her character Evelyn Powell, a haughty member of high society Beverly Hills, and the employer of a murdered maid that sets the series in motion.

The actress enthusiastically dished on her "delicious" character, the fun, over the top tone of the season and what's in store for Lifetime's new show.

Read on for excerpts from our Q&A…

TV Fanatic: How'd you end up coming about Devious Maids?

Rebecca Wisocky: It was a very busy pilots season last year, and I was really excited when I got the script and read the breakdown. She's a pretty delicious and juicy character that's been tremendous fun to play. So, yeah, I was pretty excited to meet [Show creator] Mark Cherry. I'm a fan.

TVF: Did you go in for Evelyn Powell initially?

RW: Yes. I went in for Evelyn, tested the next day and got the job. I could not have been happier.

TVF: How would you say Evelyn describes herself compared to how the maids would describe Evelyn?

RW: I'll say that I describe Evelyn as an evil bitch with a broken heart of gold. So, I think that answers both sides of your question. I think the challenge I find really fascinating in playing a villain is you can't judge her character, you can't believe that she's just an evil person, you know? I think Evelyn thinks that she has good intentions. I think she's morally questionable to say the very least. I think she walks through the world with a great deal of armor that appears to be very slick, regal and cruel, and both terrifying and ridiculous to people that cross her path.

But over the course of the season, you see her soften a bit and you see the reasons why the way she is … at least I hope you do because that's what we tried to bring to it. All of the characters become more complex as they intermingle, and you'll know more about them throughout the season.

TVF: What's it like playing Evelyn and getting to say such great lines like, "But who's going to clean up the mess?"

RW: You know the tone of the show you're dealing with, right off the bat with Mark Cherry. It's a soap, it's a satire. It's dangerous, it's campy, it's fun and I think relevant as well. He came in primary colors and then he lets them all bleed together. To say the very least, I have some delicious lines and dialogue with Tom Irwin who plays my husband, [Adrian Powell].

But yeah, I think the character begins in a very hard arch-way and then you'll see her soften.

I may have a slightly masochistic streak because I really enjoy playing those characters that are punished for their hubris. I like that. I think it's interesting. I'm a character, so I don't mind being unlikeable or unattractive to be the foil for someone else's story.

I think in Evelyn's outrageousness she can be delicious as well. I hope she will be a character that you love to hate.

TVF: Why does a tone like this work for the show?

RW: I think it allows you to flip the script a little bit. It's a satire. You can say absolutely outrageous things and put people in incredibly extreme over the top sexualized situations in order to tell a story, in order to teach a lesson, in order to show something from a different angle and get a conversation started.

TVF: Can you talk about Evelyn's relationship with her husband and then working with Tom Irwin?

RW: Well, I love Tom Irwin. He's one of the best scene partners I've ever had. He's become a very good friend, I love this relationship [between our characters]. It's kind of classic. You don't see a whole lot of this in the pilot, but he actually has a great deal of power of Evelyn. It's a love, hate relationship. I think you find out through the course of the season what keeps them together. They're their own worst enemies and the source of the greatest pain for one another. They are also the only people that can comfort one another.

TVF: Evelyn and her husband clearly have a lot of secrets. Is that something we're really going to delve into this season?

RW: Oh, yes. That house is big and has a lot of secrets inside of it. Lots will be revealed in that house, I'll say that.

TVF: Do you personally already know who the maid murderer is?

RW: You will know by the end of the season who killed Flora. The murder will be solved.

TVF: What's been the best part about working on the show?

RW: The cast. It's really true. It's been so fun and I hope we get to do more. There's so many people on this cast. I mean, Ana Ortiz [who plays Marisol Duarte] just raises the bar. She's so tremendously talented. Judy Reyes [who plays Zoila Diaz]? These people are incredibly talented and all so unique and from so many different backgrounds. I mean, there a lot of theater people that are on the cast. Tom is from the theater world, I come from the theater world, as well as Ana and Judy. That adds a lot.

TVF: Has there been anything that's surprised you?

RW: I've done a bunch of pilots. I've recurred on a bunch of shows. I've guest starred on a bunch of shows. I've been pretty lucky to play a wide range of characters, although I've often played a villainess. It's been my first experience in television having a role that can build and change throughout the course of the season.

TVF: What can you tease about the premiere?

RW: A lot of fun. A lot of mouths will be agape. A lot of outrageous behavior. Some comeuppance for people who deserve it and some for the people who do not. A lot of style and I think it's beautifully shot. The look of the show is gorgeous. … It's pure escapist heightened satire.

Dive into the delicious Devious Maids when it premieres Sunday, June 23 at 10 p.m. on Lifetime.

Greys anatomy advice that works in life

By: Ivyuriko Ortiz

Read the original post:
Greys anatomy advice that works in life - Video

Sci-fi and comedy rule this week as I empty my notebook with the latest intel on CBS’s Under The Dome, an interesting alien relationship on Falling Skies and hilarity over at TV Land’s The Exes. Let’s go!

Under The Dome: The Stephen King novel-turned-series is finally here Monday on CBS and let me tell you that you can believe the hype. The show is captivating and I trust you’ll be drawn into the mystery when a dome suddenly appears over the town of Chester Mills.

While there are familiar TV faces like Mike Vogel, Dean Norris and Britt Robertson, one new face is Alexander Koch, who plays Junior, the son of Norris' character. But, Koch advised me, the series doesn’t necessarily follow the book. “We're going in a little bit of a different direction than the book and I think it’s very good.” He said.

Since this was his first major audition, Koch is also new to seeing himself onscreen. “I'm a little self-conscious,” he said, “so we have the premiere coming up [in Wilmington, N.C., where the show is filmed] and I might close my eyes during my parts. I'm really a little nervous and self-conscious.”

But he’s not alone, as he said some of his castmates feel the same way.

And if you’re wowed by the first episode, Koch teased the second one is just as compelling. “I saw part of episode two and I was actually really blown away by the special effects and it looks great. I think everyone's really pulling their weight and doing great, great work with the script.” (More of my chat with Koch on Monday on TV Fanatic)

Falling Skies: Want to see just how much man and alien can emotionally connect? Watch this Sunday’s episode and you’ll know what I mean. “That's episode four, which is one of my favorite episodes,” said Executive Producer Remi Aubuchon of what we’ll see with Tom (Noah Wyle) and Cochise (Doug Jones) this week.

“I believe Doug just pulled this off so well. You see how much his friendship means to Tom, and you also see his maturity and duty as a soldier and his willingness to sacrifice himself for this greater good.”

The episode also features Stephen Collins (7th Heaven) as the President, who summons Tom and Cochise but is it a matter of good or not-so-good? Tune in Sunday on TNT at 10 p.m. and find out!

The Exes: The third season of the TV Land sitcom started this week and while the show focuses on three divorced men living together, they get a boost of hilarity from the always-awesome Kristen Johnston. In fact, Holly’s love of ‘the exes’ gets in the way of her love life – or maybe vice versa – in the June 26th episode. Her BF, played by Diedrich Bader, is having some issues with their relationship.

“The reason is because I miss the guys,” Johnston told me at a recent party in Hollywood celebrating the show’s third season. “I only want to hang out with the guys and so I lie to him because I want to play poker at the guys’ apartment.” Watch for physical comedy when Holly has to go to extreme measures to keep the secret from her BF.

One thing that’s not a secret is Johnston’s joy over the series. “The only thing I know for sure is it’s every bit as good as 3rd Rock [from the Sun, her 90s hit sitcom].” Of working with her co-stars David Alan Basche, Donald Faison, Kelly Stables and Wayne Knight, Johnston gushed, “The chemistry in the cast is pretty remarkable. Whether [The Exes is] a success or not is irrelevant because I feel like I’ve hit the mother lode.”

The Exes airs Wednesdays at 10:30 on TV Land.

That’s a wrap for this week! Anything else you’re dying to know about your favorite show? Leave a comment or email me directly at jim@jimhalterman.com. And remember: follow @TVFanatic for all your TV scoop!

"Savorueux" was both the conclusion we’ve been anticipating and the beginning we’ve been craving for. Will finally figured out what kind of man Lecter is and Lecter put the finishing touches on his plans for Will.

You catch these killers by getting into their heads, but you also allow them into your own. | permalink

Alana’s conversation with Will in the interrogation room was heartbreaking. Hannibal Season 1 has never been about silver linings and positivity, but the emotional upheaval between Alana and Will was far more hair raising than any amount of gore Hannibal displays. It was an emotionally gory scene; particularly during this small moment between Will and Alana:

Will: I guess you dodged a bullet with me.
Alana: I don't feel like I dodged a bullet. I feel wounded. | permalink

Alana knows what kind of man Will is and she’s searching for the man she knows while being confronted with what the evidence is telling her. Alana is surrounded with objectivity and clinical diagnoses. She is the only one who wants to follow her gut in finding something, anything, that can prove his innocence.

Sadly, as Alana is confronted with more evidence that convicts Will, she begins to lose faith in him. She too eventually succumbs to her clinical tendencies, even as she correctly diagnoses Will with encephalitis.

I’ve had this episode for almost two weeks now and Hugh Dancy’s performance still gives me chills. Will’s gradual realizations about who Hannibal really is, and the process of understanding he goes through, is phenomenal. Will starts from an honest belief that he’s committed these murders because so much of his timeline is in pieces, but using context and time he begins to realize that he never had opportunity to be the copycat killer.

So if he isn’t the copycat killer, there’s no way in hell he killed Abigail Hobbs. That if-then statement is the only thread Hannibal has to connect and coax Will into his own version of events.

The Stag Will continues to see is a symbolization of what he has always known, but is never quite willing to make the leap towards. The vision began once he met Hannibal, and continues to make its appearance throughout the season, even collapsing at one point - and when Will finally makes his way into Hannibal’s office, he finally makes the connections he needs to. Will sees the sculpture of the stag and also sees sculptures of Hannibal’s copy killings.

Will’s desire to bring Hannibal to the Hobbs home is indicative of his plans. Will was not going to let Hannibal leave there alive (much like Abigail and her family):

Will: I know who I am. I'm not so sure I know who you are anymore, but I am certain one of us killed Abigail.
Lecter: Whoever that was killed the others. | permalink

Will: I am who I have always been; the scales have fallen away from my eyes. I can see you now. | permalink

Sadly for Will, Hannibal’s version of events is also Jack’s version of events, and, while Jack has his doubts, he follows where the evidence goes. But these manipulations are necessary and it escalates the cat and mouse game between Will and Hannibal even further.

Hannibal’s interactions with Maurier (played by the awesome Gillian Anderson – I still miss my X-Files) lead us to believe Hannibal thinks he’s won by his desire to visit Will to say goodbye. The final scene with Will in jail and Hannibal looking at him with a knowing smile was the perfect end cap to the season.

The game has changed and the friendship between Hannibal and Will is over. Hannibal’s curiosity might end up killing him.

With Sam and Jesse helping Michael, we got two of the three missing teammates back in the action on Burn Notice this week. I think we can all agree that ain't bad. 

Besides, one of the best parts of "Down Range" was watching Fiona teach Madeline how to blow a hole in a wall. Madeline was a quick study and her conversation with the bookie at the very end of the episode will go down as one of my all-time favorites. 

But I’m getting ahead of myself. I need to start with the freshly shaven Michael recruiting Jesse and Sam to come down to help him in the Dominican Republic. Ah... the Three Musketeers are back together, now we just need Milady de Winter to come to her senses and forgive Michael and all will be right with the world. 

Maybe "right with the world" is a bit strong. Michael has gotten himself wedge pretty good between a rock and a hard place.

On one side we have Burke, whose style I'm beginning to admire. The guy casual laughed when truck thief Mechoso wanted an increase from $5,000 to $12.5 million for the job.

Okay, we all knew the guy was dead at that point, but I was expecting Burke to go “cool detached” and kill the guy. What I didn't expect was for him to wait for the guy to try and attack... then turn his own knife on him. 

Then, on the other side we have Jesse, Sam (and Strong). Let's not overlook the fact that withing 24 hours of teaming up with Michael, Sam had to kill a guy to keep him safe. Watching Sam shoot that guard actually shocked me; I had just said last week that Michael was different from Gamble because he didn't kill indiscriminately and now Sam had to kill against his will. 

I’m actually curious how this will affect Sam in the long run. He is a former Navy SEAL so I have to imagine he’s killed someone before, even if it wasn't a mercenary guard about to attack Michael. But, at the same time, Sam's spent a lot of energy not killing people in the past. 

Then you have Agent Strong. If anyone is going to lose it, my bet is on Strong first. He's wound so tightly and following the books so closely, he’s going to snap! At least Sam and Jesse convinced him to let them stay and help.  

Speaking of convinced, we are back to my favorite part: when Fiona convinced Madeline not to pay the bookie. I was even more thrilled when she decided to teach Madeline how to blow a hole in the wall. Madeline reminded me where Michael got some of his skills as she faced off with the guy and gave her demands; resulting in the guy to cower in his seat. 

In conclusion, I've got no idea where we are heading with Burke, but I’m happy to ride along. Pasdar put the perfect mix of charming and scary into Burke and I find myself wanting Michael to trust him. I know he’s a bad guy but, he’s not outwardly evil like Anson Fullterton was. The result is that it makes him a bit of a wild card on which way he may go. Finding out that he has a boss has me totally intrigued as to who they may be. 

My guess is that some portion of The Management has survived and Burke is their Michael. In my fevered dreams they have rebuilt without Michael knowing. Then, Michael and the CIA are able to finally end them once and for all. 

Who do you think Burke’s boss is? Someone we met before or someone brand new? Sound off below!

Paris-based artist Max Boufathal created these shimmering warriors out of plastic bags, steel, plaster and wax. The set of three sculptures are named after the music icons, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye and James Brown. I love the way he was able to form the plastic bags into muscles, turning something seemingly light and delicate into a strong forceful presence.

It's been exactly nine months since the last time I was able to write about how great of a television show Wilfred is.

In my review of the Wilfred Season 2 finale, I called the show hilarious, heart-warming, depressing, and thought-provoking. Last summer the show took a leap in quality, elevating it to not only one of the best comedies on TV, but one of the best series period.  

After watching two episodes of Wilfred Season 3, that fact has not changed.

The hour of "Uncertainty" and "Comfort" worked as a tremendous reminder of why Wilfred is like nothing else on television.  It has the look and feel of a major motion picture, it racks the viewer's brain week after week with questions of what it's all about akin to Lost or Fringe, and it cracks you up throughout like some of the best comedies of all time.

"Uncertainty," in particular, did a fantastic job returning to the questions that arose in last year's finale, and eventually discarding them by accepting that "the answers will come in good time."

They will, and according to Jim Halterman's interview with Jason Gann here at TV Fanatic, that time may be at the start of next season.  The fact of the matter is that this isn't a serious drama.  I hope there aren't crazed fans out there begging for answers to what Wilfred really is.  However, the writers playing on that notion by having Ryan and Wilfy argue about whether the latter is imagined because of the former's lunacy, or if Wilfred is simply a magical being, was brilliant.

When Wilfred asks Ryan, "You think I'm only in your head?" it's like he was smirking at the audience.  The dog could be in Ryan's head. Heck, he could be an immortal magical being.  The great part about Wilfred is that no matter what the answers are, it's going to be a hilarious ride.

Between his memories of Anne Frank and Vincent van Gogh, his interactions with Stinky, and the simplicity of the ending in which Wilfred lights the lamp shade on fire because he thought that's what they were doing, "Uncertainty" was a welcomed return for this strange FX comedy.

After all of the unanswered questions were purged out in the first half hour, "Comfort" took a step back toward the norm.  It played out as a great one-off piece about religion, grief, and a dog's hatred of mailmen.

Zachary Knighton, fresh off a brilliant third and presumably final season of Happy Endings, gave a wonderful performance as Bill the mailman.  As a card carrying member of the Dave Rose fan club, Knighton's appearance was a welcomed surprise.

Whether through jubilation (the craziness of that undeliverable letter), or sadness (falling apart once finally talking about his boy Barry getting ripped apart by a dog), Knighton was game for anything.

It was and always has been, though, Gann, who was responsible for a majority of the laughs.  His ability to morph Wilfred into anything and everything is reason number one why this show works week after week.

This time around it was the realization that friends and relatives don't come back after actually dying that turned Wilfy into an uber-religious crazy person.

Between wearing underwear and telling Bear to cover up, imagining criminals as Jesus and God, and explaining to the sinning mail men and women that they had done wrong through screaming and fireworks, "saved" Wilfred was an absolute delight.

Check out some of our favorite quotes from the hour below, and then hit our Wilfred quotes section for the best lines from the entire series.  

• Wilfred: Maybe I'm magical. Maybe you're crazy. The answers will come in good time.
• Wilfred: What happens if my old owner wants me back? I'd want me back. I mean, look at this shit.
• Ryan: So, who won the rape fight?
  Wilfred: Just drive, please.
• Wilfred: Holy shit. Marley and Me is a really sad movie. God, why was I laughing the whole time?
• Wilfred: It was Jesus!
  Ryan: And Jesus stole my radio?
  Wilfred: The Lord works in mysterious ways.
• Wilfred: When one walks with the Lord, Ryan, one's tail is always wagging.
• Wilfred: It was God, Ryan.  And as God was carrying your flat screen tv out the back door, he looked at me as if to say, "Go my son. Smite these sinners. Wipe this present day Sodom and Gomorrah off the face of the earth!"

I thought the hour was a great return for Wilfred, which remains one of the best comedies on television.  What did you think of "Uncertainty" and "Comfort?"  What were your favorite moments?  What was the best line of the hour?  And what did you think of that fat, ugly piece of sh*t Stinky?

Want to know who spit their gum out on the street? Or maybe who threw their empty soda onto the train tracks? Lit cigarettes on the ground, empty food wrappers, NY is covered in litter. Louis CK jokes that it’s not litter when the city itself is made of trash.

Heather Dewey-Hagborg, is a self described information artist, and for one of her projects she uses art and DNA to “identify” the litter culprits.

Dewey-Hagborg picks up a piece of litter, sends the litter to a lab in Brooklyn for the DNA to be extracted, and from there creates a 3D mold of the face of the litterer. The molds are more artist’s renderings than fact, and according to Dewey-Hagborg, “no one has recognized themselves yet! In reality these in-progress portraits are more of a general likeness, a family resemblance, than an exact depiction.”

You can check out her other projects on her site, deweyhagborg.com.

As many regular readers know, these last few months I have been hard at work on a new book about Walter Potter, the British Victorian anthropomorphic taxidermist best remembered for such epic tableaux as Kittens’ Wedding (4th image), Rabbits’ Village School (3rd image) and The Death and Burial of Cock Robin. The tiny museum in which he showcased these tableaux--along with sundry freaks (bottom image) and curiosities--was open to the public for nearly one hundred and fifty years until it was, tragically, divided at auction in 2003.

Entitled Walter Potter's Curious World of Taxidermy, this new, lavishly illustrated book will celebrate the life and work of Walter Potter; it aims to reunite--if virtually!--his curious collection which is now, sadly, scattered around the world in a scores of private collections. It features droll and informative text by Potter scholar and collector Dr. Pat Morris; a charming foreword by pop art legend (and Potter enthusiast) Sir Peter Blake; and dozens of brand new photos of some of the most important of Potter's pieces.

Anthropomorphic Insect Shadowbox Workshop with Former AMNH Senior Insect Preparator Daisy Tainton

With Daisy Tainton, Senior Insect Preparator at the American Museum of Natural History

Date: Saturday, June 22

Time: 1 – 4 PM

Admission: $75

***Must purchase tickets either in person or at http://beetleclass.bpt.me/

This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

Today, join former AMNH Senior Insect Preparator Daisy Tainton for Observatory's popular Anthropomorphic Insect Shadowbox Workshop. In this class, students will work with Rhinoceros beetles: nature's tiny giants. Each student will learn to make--and leave with their own!--shadowbox dioramas featuring carefully positioned beetles doing nearly anything you can imagine. Beetles and shadowboxes are provided, and an assortment of miniature furniture, foods, and other props will be available to decorate your habitat. Students need bring nothing, though are encouraged to bring along dollhouse props if they have a particular vision for their final piece; 1:12 scale work best.

BEETLES WILL BE PROVIDED. Each student receives one beetle approximately 2-3 inches tall when posed vertically.

Daisy Tainton was formerly Senior Insect Preparator at the American Museum of Natural History, and has been working with insects professionally for several years. Eventually her fascination with insects and  love of Japanese miniature food items naturally came together, resulting in cute and ridiculous museum-inspired yet utterly unrealistic dioramas. Beetles at the dentist? Beetles eating pie and knitting sweaters? Even beetles on the toilet? Why not?

Squirrel Taxidermy and the Ancient Technique of Wrapped Body with Rogue Taxidermist Katie Innamorato

Date: Sunday, June 23

Time: 12 - 6.30

Admission: $275

***Maximum class size: 8 Students; Must RSVP to katie.innamorato [at] gmail.com

This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

This class will introduce students to basic taxidermy processes. As with other classes, this is only open to 8 students to allow for a more intimate one on one environment. Each student will be provided with their own squirrel which they will skin, flesh, and prep for mounting. Students will be taught how to wrap bodies for the animals using the carcasses for reference. Wrapping is an old school traditional taxidermy process that many taxidermists do not bother with today. Pre-sculpted head forms will be available for students, but if they are feeling more adventurous they can carve their own! Students will be able to pose their squirrels however they want and are encouraged to bring in any props they may want to dress the animal up in, and items to secure their mounts on. Animal remains will be collected at the end of class and either the students can take them with them, or the instructor will dispose of them.

Rogue taxidermist Katie Innamorato has a BFA in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz, has been featured on the hit TV show "Oddities," and has had her work featured at La Luz de Jesus gallery in Los Angeles, California. She is self and professionally taught, and has won multiple first place ribbons and awards at the Garden State Taxidermy Association Competition. Her work is focussed on displaying the cyclical connection between life and death and growth and decomposition. Katie is a member of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists, and with all M.A.R.T. members she adheres to strict ethical guidelines when acquiring specimens and uses roadkill, scrap, and donated skins to create mounts.

English Sparrow Taxidermy Class with Divya Anantharaman
Date: Sunday, June 30

Time: 12 – 6:00 PM

Price: $185.00

MUST pre-purchase tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/396050

This class is part of  The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

In this class, students will create a fully finished mount from an English sparrow. An awfully cute, yet highly invasive species commonly seen in city and country alike, this class will cover introductory basic techniques used for small bird taxidermy. Each student will begin with their own sparrow, which they will proceed to skin, flesh, and mount in the pose of their choice. A selection of anthropomorphic and naturalistic props will be provided, although attendees are also welcome to bring their own, allowing the student to customize their bird. Students will create forms and poses using the technique of wrapping (a very traditional method of creating forms for small animals). We will also discuss the various methods of maintaining feet, beaks, and the delicate nature of grooming feathers. Reference images will be provided, though students are more than welcome to provide their own props and inspiration. We will also discuss federal and state bird laws, as well as the MBTA (a copy of which will be provided).

And please note: No animals were killed for the class.

Divya Anantharaman is a Brooklyn based artist whose taxidermy practice was sparked by a lifelong fascination with natural mythology and everyday oddities. After a journey filled with trial and error, numerous books, and an inspiring class (Sue Jeiven's popular Anthropomorphic Mouse Taxidermy Class at Observatory!), she has found her calling in creating sickly sweet and sparkly critters. Beginning with mice and sparrows, her menagerie grew to include domestic cats, woodchucks, and deer. Recently profiled on Vice Fringes, the New York Observer, and other publications, she will also be appearing in the upcoming season of Oddities-and is definitely up to no good shenanigans. You can find out more at http://www.d-i-v-y-a.com.

Also, some technical notes:

• We use NO harsh or dangerous chemicals.
• Everyone will be provided with gloves.
• All animals are disease free.
• Although there will not be a lot of blood or gore, a strong constitution is necessary; taxidermy is not for everyone
• All animals were already dead, nothing was killed for this class.
• Please do not bring any dead animals with you to the class

Traditionally Wrapped Body Pigeon or Quail Bird Taxidermy Class with Rogue Taxidermist Katie Innamorato

Date: Sunday, July 7

Time: 12 – 6:30 PM

Price: $250

Email: katie.innamorato(at)gmail(dot)com or afterlifeanatomy(at)gmail(dot)com to sign up.

This class is part of  The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

This class will introduce students to basic small bird taxidermy processes. As with other classes, this is only open to 8 students to allow for a more intimate one on one environment. Each student will be provided with their own quail which they will skin, flesh, and prep for mounting. Due to the small and varying nature of these birds, we will be using the old school traditional technique of wrapping bodies for these birds. Students will learn how to mount a bird using its skull and learn how to preserve the skin and pose it. Legalities of working with birds and bird parts will also be discussed. A copy of the MBTA will be brought to class and passed around to students.

Katie Innamorato, artist and Rogue Taxidermist, is a member of the M.A.R.T. or Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists. She is professionally and self taught in taxidermy; winning awards and ribbons every year at the GSTA. She explores the commercial relationships between animals and our society and her work questions the idea of bringing nature inside. She also examines the cyclical connections between life and death, and growth and decomposition. As with all M.A.R.T. members she adheres to strict ethical guidelines when acquiring specimens. She uses roadkill, scrap skins from other taxidermists and the garment industry, and donated skins to create her artworks; almost every part of the animal is utilized.

Her work has been featured recently on the new Science Channel show, "Odd Folks Home," on the hit Science and Discovery Channel TV show, "Oddities," and exhibited at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, CA.

Time: 12 - 6:30 pm

Admission: $150

Must RSVP to RSVP Email: diamondtoothtaxidermist(at)gmail.com

This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

Students will be provided with pre-skinned and tanned chicken hide elements (wings, tails, heads, etc) along with millinery hardware and all the glues, threads, chain, and miscellaneous decorative elements to create a one of a kind custom taxidermy headpiece.

Starting with the malleable hide parts, students will be instructed on how to manipulate, fill and and position the feathered sections while anchoring them to the metal hardware using foam mannequin heads (provided) for stability.  Millinery accents like netting, crinoline, jewels and metal embellishments can then be added to complete the students' own personal design, finishing off the workshop with instruction on lining the inside and adding a personalized garment tag.

Students will leave with their new wearable piece of fashion taxidermy, along with printed out lesson sheets and sourcing info so that they may employ these new skills for life.

Philadelphia’s premiere rogue taxidermist, Beth Beverly specialises in wearable taxidermy. Her hats have won awards at the Devon Horse Show, Brandywine Polo and Radnor Hunt Clubs. Her work has been featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, plus galleries such as La Luz de Jesus, Art in the Age and Michael Vincent Gallery. In 2010 Beverly won "Best in Show" at the annual Carnivorous Nights competition in New York. Currently featured as an "Immortalizer" on AMC's series about competitive taxidermy, she relishes in being photographed wearing her work and defying common stereotypes of taxidermists.

Ex Voto Making Workshop with Master Jeweler Karen BachmannWith Art Historian and Master Jeweler Karen Bachmann

Date: Sunday, August 4

Time: 1 - 5 pm

Admission: $150

***Must pre-purchase tickets at http://exvoto.brownpapertickets.com; 8 person limit

This class is part of The Morbid Anatomy Art Academy

An Ex-voto is an offering made in fulfillment of a vow, usually offered to a particular saint or other divinity. The term is Latin in origin, short for ex voto suscepto –“from the vow made." Ex-votos are placed in chapels, shrines, and other places of pilgrimage to offer thanks for blessings, healing, and to seek grace. Such places of pilgrimage have been found throughout history and in such diverse places as Egypt, Italy, and Mexico.

As ex-votos are often associated with miraculous healing, the forms they take reflect the healed body part. Hearts, lungs, legs, arms, heads, breasts, crutches, etc. often find themselves replicated in embossed and sometimes painted metal which adorn the walls of chapels in fantastic array. They are sometimes accompanied by written verse as well. Such ex-votos stand not only as tokens of thanks, but also as testaments of faith to other viewers.

This class will demonstrate how to construct from sheet metal an ex-voto of one’s own choosing. Using metal sheers and embossing tools, students will learn how to lay out a design and create their own individualized ex-voto suitable for hanging on a wall (chapel or otherwise). Metal and tools will be supplied. Samples will be shown, as well as anatomical images suitable for reproduction. Please bring sketchpad and pencil.

Karen Bachmann is a fine jeweler with over 25 years experience, including several years on staff as a master jeweler at Tiffany and Co. She is a Professor in the Jewelry Design Dept at Fashion Institute of Technology as well as the School of Art & Design at Pratt Institute. She has recently completed her MA in Art History at SUNY Purchase with a thesis entitled Hairy Secrets:... In her downtime she enjoys collecting biological specimens, amateur taxidermy and punk rock.
