I studied computer graphics at university, and have been working on artistic ventures to a lesser or greater extent ever since. I think Tolkien is probably the most famous author to also illustrated their own work, with many editions of his [&#8230;]]]></description>

I grew up as a hyperactive child before any real proper diagnosis of ADD was ever done, and managed to some extent with a restricted diet free of many of the stupider E numbers.
