Ryan Matthew: Oddities

No coverage of Ryan Matthew would be complete without mention of The Science Channel’s Oddities, the reality/documentary series based on Obscura Antiques (previously covered here).

Oddities chronicles some of the acquisitions, sales, custom projects, product hunts and colorful characters that comprise a day in the life of the Obscura team (Mike Zohn, Evan Michelson, Ryan Matthew).

I’m delighted that this program brings attention to one of my favorite places of all time, and sheds light on the captivating alternatives to decorating one’s home in department store standards.

Here’s a clip that actually shows some of Ryan’s cat skull/skeleton work, which I posted about yesterday.

Season 2 just wrapped, but you can still catch the episodes on the Science Channel.

See a bunch of clips, TV schedule and more info here.

I love this show 🙂 Ryan Matthew is one of the reasons I got hooked on it! His articulated skulls are breathtaking and so is his jewelry. A man of many talents! How I would love to see his private collection!

  I can put you in touch with the person who makes them, and he can do a custom one for you. Would you like me to do that?
