Preserved Specimen

I was always interested in the jarred up little creatures in biology class. I also think of the
"Abby Normal" scenes in Young Frankenstein. But this is dedicated to a friend known as "bunnie", who collects preserved specimens.

That is awesome. Is that a big ass pickle, or a small jar?

coneja said...

Aww poor little pickle guy. What does the rest of the label say?

I LOVE IT!

This makes me feel really uneasy.
What happened in the jar of my so-called jelly?

zandor said...

I like this one a lot. It's awesome.

Apple said...

Love it!!!

Christine Thresh said...

Oh dear. It makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Mark said...

Big, or not, I certainly hope it's not an ass pickle.

Fan-freakin'-tastic!

Sarah said...

Nicely done... tho a bit creepy! It reminds me of the giant pickles you can get at Schwartz's Deli in Montreal. Mmmmmmm... Pickle-tastic!

Allison said...

One of my favorites so far.

Okay, you've finally cracked.
Specimen Adult...what? Cucumber?

um...this kind of looks like a little pickled fetus (especially since it's in the fetal position). I can see why it would make people uncomfortable.

Oh let him OUT!!!!

Tatman said...

Instead of bringing the pickle to life you brought him to death, and then preserved him to "relish" him for the rest of eternity.

just want to ride on my motorcycle"

This cucumis sativus sample is all set to be shipped off the the Vlasic research labs!

I like your delicate gherkin child. I like the things you do.

Elena said...

I am in awe and uncomfortable all at once! Nice job!

Justin said...

I'm not sure why, but this image is profoundly disturbing to me.

Brilliant Terry!!! Love it.

On with the blather said...

Hmmm, I don't find it disturbing at all. I think it's pretty funny. If you wanted to make it more fetus(ish) you could make it suck it's thumb.

On with the blather

Terry said...

Thank you all for your comments! I appreciate your thoughts.

KIKELIN said...

It is incredible. You make me enjoy each new personage and situation. Your imagination does not have limit.
I admire your work.

Lanie Painie said...

Brilliant, as always. Is the label foreshadowing the "baby" pickled pickle?

Jim said...

This one's a hoot Terry! I could definently see this on a shelf at Bunnie's house, lol!

Kny said...
