I’ve mentioned Morbid Tendencies previously, but wanted to highlight their Unfortunate Animal of the Month Club.

The subscription is $50 a month (slightly higher for subscriptions of less than 3 months), you can specify the type of creatures you desire, and you even get to choose a Morbidity Rating (ranging from “Slightly Twisted” to “Sick”). Every critter is hand-made, and the artist strives to personalize each beast to the particular nuances of your correspondence with her.

If you’re handy with a needle, the photos are also an excellent source of inspiration. Fun!
