Self-portrait of IG Karfield and one of his pet chicken, taken in 1984

 

Born in a small town between Amsterdam, Groningen, Leeuwarden, Rotterdam and Maastricht, IG Karfield is ADHD-esque, post traumatic, visionarily blind, and incredibly thick. His super powers include looking through the back of his head without shaving it first, counting all the way up to seven, and writing between the letters. He is a Scorpio, a leprechaun, and a she, although neither has ever been confirmed.

Mr. Karfield has contributed to the world of literary hokum since 2001. His work has been featured online since 2009.
