Cory Doctokov: Modded VW van toy in a fez

Original: Link




Virtuoso toy-modder Doktor A created this modified toy VW van for a special show at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The toy modders were one of the first interactive computer games. He edited anthologies; he wrote book reviews, theater reviews, art reviews, music reviews. He wrote collaboratively and pseudonymously; he kept a popular blog, Endzone, in which he shared new poems, some unpleasant post-9/11 screeds, and witty discourses on the meaninglessness and minutiae of life. In his most recent novel, he wrote in the voice of God, and on his publisher's Web site answered questions from readers. He wrote and wrote and wrote, for the sheer joy of it and for an even more primal impulse: to tell a story to the dark. Link
