Our latest guest is the entertaining and provocative Chris Day. Besides owning a 2269 invitation, who is Chris Day? Well, in his own words...

“Chris Day is a refreshingly bespectacled illustrator, animator and writer. He has scribbled, doodled and thinkercised since he was a dot and currently runs the small (but perfectly formed) creative studio Little Creature his home in the leafy depths of Bath, Enger-land. One day he hopes to finally learn the saxophone and write a screenplay about a lonely 19th Century inventor. In 2269 he will be 295 years young and at most parties he can be found in the kitchen near the finger food.”
