“Sir Dr. Admiral Rupert Xavier’s Paper Plane Flights to Exotic Mind Destinations” is a supernatural history travelogue and a thrilling journey through the life and fantasy of Sir Dr Admiral Rupert Xavier, featuring melancholy spirits, platonic romance, non-scientific facts, and award-winning haircuts.
Featuring new work by Daniel Mrgan
About Sir Dr. Admiral Rupert Xavier:
Just who is Sir Dr. Admiral Rupert Xavier? Truthfully, not much is known about him (probably the way he would prefer it), but these are the facts: He was an only child and grew up on a street with no other children; he considered himself a deep man, but didn’t care for making waves or water-related metaphors; he was a man of many fears who suffered from dozen daytime anxieties, and at least three nighttime ones; He enjoyed his job as a Google car driver because it combined his love of maps and street photography; his hobbies were making and flying paper planes, collecting and analyzing viruses, and daydreaming about awesome adventures in nonexistent locations; he had a pet snail named Chekov and one best friend called Rooster Bronson; his favorites foods were pistachio ice-cream soup, and soft boiled eggs; he was not on Facebook. And those are the facts. The rest is anyone’s guess.
About the artist:
Daniel Mrgan is a graphic designer, illustrator, and woodburner residing in awesome St. Petersburg, Florida. His work and influences can best be described as one small, weathered building on the edge of town with creaky wood floors and a broken elevator, occupied by tenants such as silent cinema, Eastern-European stop-motion animation, folk art, melancholy, and music – all sitting around, drinking tea, eating soft boiled eggs, and watching Olympic games, nature documentaries, and vintage cartoons all night long.
