Victor Allen Crawford, III (who occasionally writes under the slightly more pompous sobriquet Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy) is an artist, designer, author, failed dandy, bushwhacking aesthete, parenthetical naturalist, pseudo-intellectual, and a middle-aged dilettante.
He wrote, designed, and illustrated The Affected Provincial's Companion, Volume One (Bloomsbury 2006), which has been optioned for film by Johnny Depp's production company, Infinitum Nihil. He has appeared in The New York Times, Interview, Frieze, Tin House, and Art in America.
For one throb of the artery,
ReplyDeleteWhile on that old grey stone I sat
Under the old wind-broken tree,
I knew that One is animate,
Mankind inanimate fantasy.
W. B. Yeats; A Meditation in Time of War
