Christopher Marley's Incredible Insects Sticker Book


Book Description

As a kid, Christopher Marley was afraid of bugs. But after his travels took him to farflung parts of the world inhabited by amazing insects, his fear gave way to fascination. The variety of forms and colors in the insect world is almost endless. Did you know that beetles alone account for nearly a quarter of all animal species on Earth? So Marley began collecting beetles, bugs, butterflies, and other insects, arranging them into stunning works of art such as the one shown here. Its art with a purpose: if more people experience the incredible beauty of these creepycrawly critters, perhaps they will not be so squeamish about them (and will be less likely to squish them, too!). Who knows? Maybe these stickers will help lead you, like Christopher Marley, to a lifetime of learning about the amazing world of insects! 8 page softcover book with more than 200 reusable paper stickers (99 different designs) featuring photographs of insects by Christopher Marley. Includes a diagram identifying all the insects.




Pheromone


Book Description

Christopher Marley's graceful arrangements of jewel-like arthropods make converts of those who have long seen insects as creepy-these are stunning works of art. Marley's keen eye for design combines with his entomological education to produce mesmerizing, kaleidoscopic bug mandalas and striking up-close-and-personal single-insect portraits. Neither painted nor digitally enhanced, the artist's subjects appear in this book just as they would if you found one on your screen door. Each gorgeous creation is identified with its scientific and common names, and many are accompanied by concise descriptive text. In succinct essays, Marley writes about insect collecting and its benefits to the environment; he describes his creative process in choosing and arranging the creatures for optimal visual effect. After a childhood spent running from every creature that skittered about on more than four legs, Marley has devoted much of his adult life to studying bugs-with increasing fascination. He makes frequent forays to remote locations far removed from his home in Oregon, seeking out the most beautiful and exotic species on Earth.
