New York performance artist Nate Hill has worn many masks: Chinatown trash artist, free bouncy rides guy, candy crack delivery guy, and his best personality to date, Death Bear. According to Animal, he may be ready to cash in on that last persona. The site says "a bunch of producers from LA have been hounding him and [he] is actively seeking advice on how best to proceed with a Hollywood hustle." Can Death Bear revive reality television? Here's a look at him in action: more ›

Usually Nate Hill's antics just creep us out, but he's really on to something with his latest project: Death Bear. Here's how it works... you can make an appointment with the Death Bear, who will show up at the appointed time and "take things from you that trigger painful memories and stow them away in his cave where they will remain forever allowing you to move on with your life." In other words, Nate Hill is collecting your old ex's stuff, which he probably then sells on eBay. His next appointments available are, fittingly, Valentine's Day weekend. more ›

It's not quite '80s Manhattan, but the Club Animals troupe are tapping in to the vibe of old, drug-laden New York by bringing a crack rock delivery service to your front door. Okay, so maybe furry animals delivering candy is aiming more towards the Disneyfication of the city. Here's what they have to say for themselves: "we are personally delivering a 100% sugar crack rock (multi-colored and multi-flavored with snow cone syrup) to your Brooklyn house on demand. Expect a 7-foot tall man in a plush, blue mascot head, white gloves and a tuxedo to come knocking soon after you call or text for delivery. You can purchase a few candy crack rocks for $1 a pop in a 1" x 1" crack bag." Seems innocent, if not a bit creepy (this is the same man who gives bouncy rides in the subway). But wait! The closing sentence declares: "Can't say too much here because y'know it's drugs." Follow the link if you wanna take your chances. See you on Dateline! more ›

Bringing together taxidermy, freeganism and art -- Nate Hill has created a not-for-the-faint-of-heart event called the New York City Chinatown Garbage Tour. Hill is an artist who makes new animals from dead animal parts; he explains his craft: "I sew together random animal parts to make a new animal that doesn't really exist. Many of the parts I have used over the years have come from Chinatown's garbage." Earlier this year he opened his A.D.A.M. Project (A Dead Animal Man), you can view some photos here. more ›
