Obadiah Marsh : Abhorrent Piscine Denizen of the Deep

These dubious skills have seen him work in theatre, Tv, advertising, magazines, toy design, merchandising and the music industry. He lives under a hill in the UK. From there he monitors the world's off-kilter-culture and produces his dark twisted dreams. Character driven clashes of urban pop culture, classic children's stories and neo-Victorian industrial neverlands. "Once upon a time I had a goldfish named Tuna.
