Rory Walker

Rory Walker is one of the seven wonders of the modern world.  He’s hugely prolific as an artist, engaging in all sorts of things all at the same time.  He’s generally happiest when out in the woods, chopping wood, making fires, drinking bourbon and twanging a flamenco guitar.  He’s pretty good at swimming, likes making home-brews, regularly sports a beard, and can see every object he’s ever seen in his mind’s eye at any angle.  This sometimes drives him nuts (see earlier mention of escaping to the woods).
