Andre Robolobavich studied the art of taxidermy under the guidance of Simon 'the stuffa' Wilson of Bovingdon. Simon Wilson produced the now famous taxidermy 'Floating Giraffe' at Aynhoe Park which was sold at auction earlier this year for a record breaking £100,000. Simon's skills in taxidermy and his ability to think outside the box combined with Andre's imagination and artistic mindset have resulted in much of the taxidermy seen on screen in television and film in recent years. Andre and Simon source animals that have died from natural causes from zoos and farms, and have decided to let a few favourites move on to make space for another upcoming project.
