Martin was born Oct 31 1961
in Lethbridge Alberta, the illegitimate son of a alcoholic traveling circus
clown with a fetish for art deco, and Klezmer clarinet, and of a 300-pound
Irish flamenco dancer with epilepsy .
Martin was abandoned at the
door step of a church across the street from a beak nick club wrapped in a black
shawl inside a very big shoe!

Martin was adopted
by the family of an out-of-work Avro Arrow engineer and moved to
California in the '60s. He grew up in a normal suburban home but by the
age of 12 Martin could not fit in this setting anymore. He left home to
join a traveling band of porno stars. After a few years in second-rate
porno flics, Martin decided to ''start his life over ''.
He moved to Quebec City where he
got a strait job as a gas station attendant but this did not work out as
every time someone asked him to ''fill it up'' he would end up spilling gas
all over the trunk *
*(for those how are too young
to remember, in the 70s most cars had their gas caps in the back of the car)
By the 80s Martin realized that he
had to find his own niche in the world so he decided to start his own business
by combining his two loves: Metal Music and killing small animals; he
started a extermination / hard rock birthday balloon-o gram service
called ''night critters" and now lives happily in Montreal.
The model
This started out life as a 8'' Mc-Farlen Action figure :: the spawn clown after I took it apart, I re-assembled it without any of the action joints in the wrist etc, because this figure is made of all things vinyl ....I had to fill in the joints with Crazzy glue .lots of Crazzy glue!! After the glue dries for a few days I use a hefty coat of Humbrol enamel paint as a surfacer ,when that dries I sand that down ,and then paint everything over acrylics( Tamiya, Testors, pabeo, folkart ...)and then shade with artist oils .........I am hoping to try this on a wwI AC model some time
soon. Hope you like it.
