About Me

My photo
Lawrence Burton
Lawrence Burton writes books, paints pictures, and has been involved with all sorts of weirdy music bands of the kind posthumously described as industrial by idiots who weren't there. He grew up in England, specifically on the farm upon which Teletubbies would eventually be filmed, but now lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, a number of cats, and a couple of bunnies. His favourite shows are Kenneth Clark's Civilisation and Still Game.
