Dragon Queen Taxidermy

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Paper Mache Maleficent Dragon Trophy' by Dan Reeder Looks Realistic

— June 5, 2014 — Pop Culture
Dan Reeder, the man behind the Paper Mache Blog, has created a new art work called 'Paper Mache Maleficent Dragon Trophy' in homage to Disney's latest movie 'Maleficent.'

The film's story line revolves around the evil queen that originates from the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. In both story lines, the queen transforms into a frightening dragon, so Dan Reeder depicted himself as a dragon slayer by creating this Disney and taxidermy-inspired piece.

This "hunting" trophy piece consists of Maleficent's dragon head mounted on a wall. It is made out of paper mache and is detailed with LED lights for an added spooky effect. And while it may not be a real dragon, it does actually include some real taxidermy parts. Its eyes are made with taxidermy elephant eyes to look more realistic.
Trend Themes
1. Paper Mache Art - The trend of creating intricate and realistic sculptures using paper mache opens up opportunities for artists to explore new materials and techniques.
2. Pop Culture Inspired Art - Artworks inspired by popular movies and characters, like the Maleficent dragon trophy, tap into a growing market of collectors and fans seeking unique and nostalgic pieces.
3. Hybrid Taxidermy - The fusion of taxidermy with other materials, such as paper mache and LED lights, presents opportunities for innovative and visually striking art installations and decor.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists can explore the paper mache art trend to create unique sculptures and attract a broader audience of art collectors and enthusiasts.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - The demand for pop culture-inspired art, like the Maleficent dragon trophy, creates opportunities for merchandise collaborations and licensing deals with movie studios.
3. Interior Design and Home Decor - The use of hybrid taxidermy in home decor allows interior designers and decor enthusiasts to create visually striking and conversation-starting spaces.
