I was born a long time ago, seven years after George Orwell died actually. I am currently enjoying my autumnal years, something which Orwell was denied, and I hope to make a century.

I learnt to read with Dr. Seuss; James Thurber has always pandered to my feeling life is essentially a very random game, possibly even futile. Although David Sedaris doesn't write much about animals, I do enjoy his short stories enormously.

Animals, birds that twitter, trill and tweet, and anthropomorhism make my world more fun. I live in Rome which has a very varied fauna, some pretty famous ruins and a hell of a lot of traffic. The combination of these make up, somehow or other, the underlying basis to my doodles, sketches and daydreaming. That's a thumbnail sketch of me in a nutshell.
