| Introduction | Born in Windhoek, Namibia, Thomas Dorman indulged in his love of horror and art movies from a young age. This was such an obsession that at the age of nine he wanted to become a horror film director. After completing his studies in commercial art and design, he started out as a graphic designer and has won two international design awards. In the interim, Thomas has achieved the position of creative director at an advertising agency. Photography is one of his other creative outlets and his work has been published in various art and fetish magazines, both locally and abroad, including one small seed, Marquis and Bizarre magazines. He lives with his author wife and a small menagerie in Cape Town’s far south. |
