As a kid I’ve read 3 kinds of books:
- Fairytales
- Encyclopedias
- Satire for children1
As a grown up, my style is a blend of wonder, humor, and information.
Playing with letters2 is my favorite thing but I do a lot of creative work in different mediums and styles. Performing, painting, photography (I sing creatively but off-key).
Comedy-wise my style is sharp, absurd, and insightful. I love both Chekov and Monty Python so my characters are often big and layered – so like Big Bird (in ‘Goodbye, Mr Hooper’).
I focus on humorous, character-driven storytelling, scriptwriting and ads for YOU 🫵
- Satirists used to disguising their novels as children’s books – Huckleberry Finn, Gulliver’s Travel, Cipollino, etc. By doing that not only they safe-proofed themselves from prosecution, they raised adults who grasp satire on almost unconscious level. ↩︎
