About the author person
RICHARD JAMES SUTHERLAND
was born in
Hull, England
during the
1982
edition of
Valentine’s Day,
making him the perfect age to have appreciated
He-Man,
TMNT
and
Duckula
in their
prime.
Whilst
studying
History
at the
university
of his hometown, he
deserted
his post as Frozen Food Stacker at a
supermarket
and began the role of
Till Monkey
at the local
Waterstone’s.
He later worked in the Marketing department at
Hull Truck
Theatre,
where he saw people dressed as vicars, Victorian
villains and vegetables on a daily basis. He’s now with
the funky marketing team at
eskimosoup,
where he gets to write stuff for money (what a
novelty!).
Aside from acquiring
two manic cats
and indulging in the occasional change of
margarine brand,
very little else has happened in his life. Although, he
did once paint a garden wall a lovely shade of
Brick Red.
He likes
sandcastles,
marker pens
and
traffic
lights,
but never combined, not necessarily in that order, and
always in
moderation.
