Artist's Comments
Target age – 6 to 7 year olds
Imagined by- Rebeka Cresswell & Gloria Knipe Drawn by- Sophia Ying age 5 Made by- me more info- [link] Rebeka and Gloria first imagined Mark Paraka 18 years ago. While playing they noticed that the tree branches formed letters. They ran around the entire school collecting the letters they found in the trees. Once they collected all the letters they rearranged them to form sentences. They imagined that a little monster that lived in the trees made the letters to try and communicate to them. Rebeka and Gloria claim they never saw Mark Paraka so they could not draw him (they are much too old now too). After hearing the story of mark parka, Sophia Ying drew her rendition of the monster. Mark Paraka will help children get out into nature and to look a little deeper into what they see. He can also help the children with developing their language skills. note: Thank you all for the kind comments & favs  Daily DeviationGiven 2009-06-24Mark Paraka toy by =LilFairie. This plushie was created by the artist as part of a bigger toy brand called Alternative Imagination. "With Alternative Imagination, I interpret children’s drawings and stories about their imaginary friends into soft toys. Mark Paraka was first imagined 18 years ago as a response to two little girls seeing tree branches that look like letters. With their imagination they were sure some great magical creature was trying to communicate with them, which they called Mark Paraka. After hearing the story of Mark Paraka, Sophia Ying (then aged 5) drew her rendition of the monster. From there I crafted Sophia's drawing into a loveable toy. Her original drawing can be seen on the packaging. Mark Paraka helps children get out into nature and to look a little deeper into what they see. He also helps the children with developing their language skills." (Featured by `Kitten-of-Woe) |
