American writer and illustrator. He lived as a stranger in Chicago (Illinois, USA) being employed at the cleanliness of a hospital.
His major achievement was a grand manuscript of 15.143 pages titled The History of the Vivians, in what it is known as the Kingdoms of the Unreal about, on the War - Glandeco storm-Angeliniana caused by the Revolt of the Children Slaves. Close to it a series of several hundreds of water-colors and drawings which illustrated the history. The work reveals itself after his death and has turned into one of the most excellent examples of marginal art.
His work is part of important collections such as MoMA, Art School of Chicago, Contemporary Art Museum of Chicago or Mteropolitan Contemporary Art Museum of Lille (France).
