Markel has done it again....another development, that started with the fish and suns and will probably extend to everything he designs.
The once flat metal mermaids have taken on form, built with fiberglass bodies, they are very strong and suitable for outdoor placement. On these particular mermaids, Markel built the forms, Leslie painted them....though it isn't always the case, we don't have a set formula for the design work which we divide between us.... A red head and a blonde, both full of spice and vinegar.
This is a space about purplebabydaddies and Leslie and Markel Leland, the artists who create the purplebabydaddies design line. After the hurricane season of 2005 forced the closing of our beloved Key West store we went into shock and then mourning, but we have learned and we have survived and we are still here, making art and having a life. We're glad you found us. Please click on the labels below to see what you came here for.
