Daniel Lincoln Cooper is an outsider artist/musician, a fervent devotee to raw expression, and he performs under the stage name "The Mongrel King". Music and theatrical performance are an appeal to the forces above and below. Through performance, the mask of self is slipped and the resplendent and chaotic, unseen face of Imagination is shown. The Mongrel King sings and pulls the strings like a brimstone balladeer, to shape the sounds that shake the air and make the shape of magic clear.
