ABOUT CECIL

Cecil on holiday as a child, incognito
Cecil Lamont-Dwiggins is said to have been born on Somerset Road, Ealing, London in the late 1950s, although this cannot be confirmed. Equally unverifiable is his attendance at Durnford School on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. Thanks to Dwiggins penchant for destroying any public traces of his life, no records exist of his employment as an apprentice draughtsman at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Hampshire; nor of his subsequent positions as an assistant at BBC Costume and Wigs department, news writer at Radio Caroline, and delivery specialist at Edward Goodyear, the royal florists based in the famous Claridges hotel in Mayfair. After the publication of The Adventures of Bishop Bonkers in 2007, Dwiggins fled to America to escape legal persecution and harassment. Dwiggins considers himself a satirist in the tradition of Daumier, Cruikshank, Nast, and Thomas Rowlandson; a practiced hand delving deep into the nature of human form and observable behavior.
Secretive and retiring, he now resides at an undisclosed location on the Western shores of the USA.
