A compulsive talker, musician, artist, art collector & curator, translator of Baudelaire (and many a great French poet), Summa-cum-laude for Horizontal Angelology (Ph.d, Oxymoron Divinity School), upstart cosmologist, aficionado of insomniac starlight, the bane of pretense, philately and cheeky ducks; he is also haberdasher to the blithely impoverished and when not bottom-feeding his antique obsessions, he manages to sell a bit of art for his gang and self with his better organized art-moll, the collage-packing and fleet-fingered Rebecca Peters.
