or was that give my Thanks to the hoards?
_{This is a big unoffical thank you for all the ~Murktastic Marching!}

Well Minions, Meatbags and Murkies we made it to < drum roll plz > 253 Marching

A big thank you to everyone over at #TheThousandMurkMarch.
Epic Win and Lulz were had be all!

We might not have made it to 1000 but as some positive mucker once said, "it's not the destination but the journey!"

Well this Slave Monkie hopes you've had a ~Murktastic journey.

In the last day and a half ~MurkMarch08 went from 34 'Official' Murkies to 253. That's a crazy big jump so thank you again for all your hard work and the 's.

Winners and prizes will be given out in the next few days.

In the mean while why not pay some respect and murkie love to the man behind the madness `MurkHellsing

For now; The Murkies

The eyeless me : ~
The party me : ~
The fanart me : ~
The cultist me : ~
The crazy me : ~


_{if this journal can get 1000 comments before the end of today a random prize will be given out}

We need you to keep marching!
Keep spreading the joy of Murk around!

Think of it this way, if each ~Murktastic Marcher convinced 5 friends to join right now we'd break the 1000 mark.
You've got to have at least 5 friends... right

Thank you so much for all the help and fun had so far!
In the last day we quadrupled the amount of marchers

What is Murk?
Who is Murk?
Why Murk?
Are you sure you don't mean Mark?

What is Murk

Simply said Murk is a character developed by Matthew J. Wills.
A cannibal with dark wants and desires. He also loves marching.

Who is Murk

For Halloween, or even all year round everyone could be Murk.
Yes even you $spyed or ~you or even ~me

We'll talk more about being the Murk later.

Why Murk

Why not? For three years the community has rallied, been scared and marched with pride along side `MurkHellsing and his mostly crew of Murks. It's shaken things up, started long lasting friendships, gotten people some sweet prizes and among all things it's scared the pants off all the n00b's.

Not Mark

That's right. Be Murk and Be Proud!

Halloween Day across all Time Zones

What is it?


The Thousand Murk March is where hundreds of deviants come together and wear this avatar; in celebration of its many years of scaring deviantArts members. This is the third year we've held the event in a row; and we can only hope it will get bigger!

The word 'Meme' gets thrown around alot these days, and people forget that before Longcat and Fry Seeing What You Did took over this place; deviantArt had its own cluster of commonly used images called PLZ accounts. deviantArt has its own style and its own mythology; and as far as I'm concerned, all those well known characters of the forums fall under it. I may not be a PLZ account exactly, but my name and avatar get dropped into every Survival on a desert island, Zombie Apocalypse, If-you-had-to-resort-to-Cannibalism, Which-deviant-has-the-scariest-icon? and Who-has-the-scariest-fangirls? thread on the boards... Usually before I even get there!

So this event isn't about me shamelessly promoting myself - we're just contributing to something bigger. I'm just as eager to support Vernon's Get-Drunk-With-A-Wombat-Day or Gh-Mongos Get-A-Troll-Banned-Day when they happen.

What do I do?


Its simple, Murkies and Murklemen! When Halloween rolls around (and God help us, it will!), you wear the avatar! Thats it! No strings attached.
Of course Murk isn't one for boring parties, so expect plenty of creepy competitions, putrid prizes, at least one drinking game, and odd events to keep your Halloween weekend exciting. And with a face like mine attached, you just know you'll want to go scare some innocent bystanders!

What can I do to prepare?


Get people interested! The more people involved, the bigger the event!
Maybe make your own Murky avatar? This is an art site - get creative!
How about making one of these little buggars? I'd be interested to see what kind of strange places they turn up [link]

Everyone agreed it was alot of fun last year; so we here at Murk Enterprises will be working hard for you to make it the best one yet.


Thankyou for the continuing support!
And have yourself one ~Murktastic day!
Yours insincerely,
`MurkHellsing

With extra love from,
