One sunny day in January, Art Center College of Design handed Fred a BFA in illustration. That led to a long career as an advertising copywriter, a short one as a radio producer and audio engineer, and a new beginning as a writer, artist and illustrator. He - and please pardon him for writing about himself in the third person - lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and son.

Fred and 140 other people liked Dan's review of House of Leaves: "So, I liked House of Leaves but wouldn't call it great or brilliant. I liked the concept of a cache of papers found detailing a possibly ficticious film about a house with impossible dimensions and the maze of mind bogglingly large size in its closet" Read more of this review »
