Kirk Demarais's fascination with vintage toys and novelties has inspired "Life of the Party," a visual history book of the S.S. Adams Prank and Magic company, as well as "Mail-Order Mysteries" which offers a rare look at mail-order products from old comic books.

Mail-order of yesteryear is also the focus of his award-winning short film "Flip." (See it here: http://vimeo.com/979599) Kirk also co-created "Foot," an animated film distributed by bobblehead maker FunKo.

In addition to neglecting his retro culture web site, SecretFunSpot.com,

Kirk's pop-surrealist artwork is regularly shown at L.A.'s Gallery 1988. Kirk enjoys life in the hills of Arkansas with his wife and son, and a ghost.
