The Dreadfully Delightful Existence Of Semi-Spectral Things

March 17, 2018 12:37 PM

Matt Adrian, AKA The Mincing Mockingbird, paints birds.

Even better, his paintings have delightful names, such as:
INAPPROPRIATE AND UNSETTLING STORIES FOR THE SWIFT SILENCING OF A PRECOCIOUS CHILD
DEFIANTLY EFFERVESCENT IN THE FACE OF THE SIXTH EXTINCTION
MOMENTS WHEN MY GAZE GOES VACANT
and my personal favorite:
IF YOU CLONE ME, MY FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WILL BE TO KILL YOU ALL

My favorite is the title of his second book collection, I HAVE HEARD MY PRAISES SUNG IN SCREAMS. Sadly out of print now.

I'm a huge fan, have given HEARD MY PRAISES as gifts, and have one of his pieces on my bedroom wall. I enthusiastically approve of this FPP.
