Video created by Phil Smith : Artwork from  Dr Steg . Some of this material was made in collaboration with artists such as Andy Paciorek, Carlito Juanito & pStan Batcow (who also was solely responsible for some of the sculptures in the Gallarage). Materials come from the Steg exhibition at Supercollider, Blackpool, 2010; Steg's Gallarage 2010; Ceramic Hobs gig live paintings; ye olde Steg comix etc. Start exploring Steg's work at http://worldofsteg.co.uk

Stegorek is the mutant hybrid spawn of Dr Adolf Steg and Andy Paciorek. It is a deranged art organism that spews forth drawings, paintings comics and montage things. 
It sometimes absorbs other artists such as pStan Batcow, Carlito Juanito, Crayola Summers, Tony Trowbridge,  and others. Collectively this raggle-taggle rabble of racoon-like ruffians form THE PRE-STEGOREK BROTHERHOOD.

Note: Scott Bibus and Sarina Brewer have statements upon their websites declaring that no animals were killed for the purpose of their taxidermia and list their  sources of material. It is claimed that Walter Potter also did not have animals killed for use in his tableaux, however as he worked in the Victorian era, it is difficult to verify that fact. Stuffed animals are a matter for the viewer's individual tastes, but from a moral perspective this blog would not knowingly post any taxidermia or associated art, where live animals had been deliberately harmed to produce the work.
