a busking/street performance act.

To see more pix go to Caught in the act!

Misty the angel and Murk the Demon are a one-woman-one-puppet circus act.  

Misty was put on probation when the Angel Superior noticed her singed wings, and Murk just plain old flunked out of Demon School.   Now the two of them have teamed to make kids laugh and earn the $$ to pay off their respective fines.  After all, they just want to go home!!

Murk and Misty perform circus tricks to delight their audiences and prepare them for the horrifying finale.  Misty the  Angel will unmask Murk's terrifying face and he will be forced to reveal his innermost secret true-heart's-desire.

And what could this nightmarish secret be?  HE WANTS TO DANCE BALLET!!

Watch Murk transform from a twisted, pitiable wretch into a serene dancer.  What could be more bizarre?

Here we are at the Kaslo Snow Fest 2005, Kaslo BC

Murk the Demon spotted in Cowans Office and Art Supplies, June 16,2003.  It would appear he is getting some cosmetic advice!!

This is Murk's "hidden face".  Not bad looking for a Demon! 

(This is the model for his face made from Sculptor's Plasticine)

Murk's Concept sketch

Murk is made of dowel, paper mache, PVC pipe, foam, wire, wood, acrylic paint, string, screw eyes, screen lath, sheepskin and human hair, along with a lot of love and fun!!
