#019 Samuel the Koala


"Samuel went on a gap year at the turn of the millennium and has never come back. In his travels around Europe he has become fluent in five languages and, as a current resident of Asia, has never tired of eating dim sum for breakfast. He has no place to call his own, but instead keeps moving around; his home is wherever he takes his trainers off. He is a self-proclaimed artist who would maybe have something to show off, but he keeps losing track of his sketchbooks. Perhaps one day he will finally ‘find himself’ (and some drawings) in a bowl of pho soup and blow us all away with the talent he’s been assuring us he has." (Kerry Lord, Edward's Menagerie, 2014)
