Krystal King Birdbear
The Krystal Kings paintings were sketched out by Marc, painted by Magda, and finished with fine black lines and detail work by Marc. They are painted with acrylic guache, pearlescent, metallic and day-glo paints, and feature an ultra matte black guached that makes them seem to be painted on black velvet.

Threespine stickleback pretending to be barracuda.
These guys were commisioned by fellow Flickerite Frenquency to commemorate the end of his PhD studies of this fish species.

"I am asking you, I am asking myself, to give our parents the gift of unconditional love, so that they too may learn how to love from us, their children. So that love will finally be restored to a desolate and lonely world."

Happy Sleepy tumble and surf
Building pillows drift
Travel in style
Dare to smile and smile
Opening feelings shift
Buying hides
Riding the tides
Eyeing the Eye of Sauron
Wishing tales
Jumping scales
Stroking the pet of a life on earth
Playing with strings and vibrating things
