Gallery 5 -Claymoor and Kip
(and other surreal moments)
Ah, Claymoor and Kip. What a strange pair this is! Only a few facts are known about
them. They were both born in Luxembourg, but did not meet until later, after they
moved to Phantasma. Neither one fit in too well in the real world. Claymoor's
orange head with plants growing from it, and his ever-changing legs, always
seemed to incite stares. Kip's long beak and funny hair were the source of much
ridicule. Luckily for them, Phatasma is a place where nothing is too weird, so now
they flourish in each other's friendship in a place they can truly call home.
They like getting their portrait made, even while doing mundane activities, like playing
cards, or getting a haircut.
