A rare Leatherwing in full flight
Jim Stewart’s fermenting things are a source of fascination and amusement at his California-based website Zymoglyphic Museum. Death is given new life, as in the former whatever-it-was reborn as a “Leatherwing”, which Stewart defines as “a night-flying species related to the Zymoglyphic Mermaid and the Jenny Haniver”.
The former is another of his creations, while the latter has been around since the 16th century — a ray carcass pulled from the sea, twisted up and dried for fun and freak-outs. Wikipedia has Jenny here. Dali House pokes bravely at taxidermy here.
