Artist Jamie Roadkill worked on Wall Street for years before she quit to pursue her true passion: turning roadkill into works of art. In our profile, Jamie describes how she started experimenting with found carcasses, and the initial responses from family and friends to her messy, disturbing and provocative work. She also breaks down the step by step process of dismemberment, bone whitening, and articulating that turns roadkill into artworks.

@SYSTEM__327 years ago This is really interesting. I understand that many people are offend or disgusting by her art. However, what she has done is recycle what would have been turned to waste. Of which allows the state to allocate the tax revenue that would have been spent to clean up the roadkill in other areas. ... 111

@edgarsprovejs76244 years ago It is amazing how we humans can actually find art in anything in what we put our energy and idea to create or transform.
Impressive! 32

@TheEeevilMonkey7 years ago It may be unconventional and slightly off-putting at first glance, but once you take the time too look at it....I find it quite intriguing! Really like her work and her Instagram is awesome as well! 32

@LaRedPDX5 years ago Ha. I love it! This is something that I thought about doing probably about five or six years ago. Never did it… But I definitely thought about how bad ass it would be.
I do have a whole bunch of different sacred medicine/animal parts from indigenous peoples. I would obviously 🙄 never use those.
But how amazing and just special they are, is what gave me the thought. I am glad she is doing this. ... 1

@

@lucwatoa87756 years ago I use to pick up bones and stuff, and if is possible take some corpses to home to bury them and wait to take the bones, then i use them to make some jewlery or something else, its cool to know others in somewhere do thinks like that. ...

@leversandpulleys92745 years ago everyone gangsta till this lady starts to get bored with animals 1
@

@jakestarr47182 years ago With everyone's comments, i suspect she will be competing for roadkill now. Roadkill is best composted or burnt to dust to respect the animal, not processed and piecing many animals together and spraying them with glitter. Ed Gein did similar things before skinning dead people, so nope, nothing wrong with this picture at all... ...

@TheVoiceOfChaos3 years ago tbh i would love for my dead remains to be processed.

@PolycrisisActor5 years ago Interesting. I hope that in the future she considers using fewer chemicals which can be safely disposed of, without harming the natural environment. 1

@AndreaPesce6 years ago It's orrible. May be It's better a dress with your bones! 1
@

@TheBuzzBentzer7 years ago So basically just gold-sprayed bones out of random dead animals... boring. The motivation for the art seems to be just to shock people (and make money off of it somehow), thats why the theme of her work IS her name... to sell herself (like she taught "herself" everything from YOUTUBE!) as good as possible. No message -> no art. ... 5
