ABOUT ME

- couch is closed now.. maybe another time.. I can usually be persuaded to drink coffee though

I was once destined for academic greatness and planned to revolutionise anthropology beyond recognition. But I was sitting in a forest in nova scotia and found a better idea... So now I'm making silly animations

Il y a bien longtemps j'étais étudiant, et je projetais de révolutionner l'anthropologie. Mais j'ai changé d'avis, et maintenant je fais de petits dessins animés
