ABOUT ME

I love to travel but rarely have the time or money to do so (or,more precisely, I often have the time or the money, but almost never both at the same time). I run a small independent publishing company that is my main work, but I do other work so I can eat.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that, thanks to the internet, it is the best time in history to be an artist of any kind. Not the easiest time. But the best.
