Andrew BoydI’ve written a few books and played a few pranks. I’m a long-time veteran of creative campaigns for social change. On a good day I’m funny. On a bad day, political. On a really bad day, philosophical. I’ve hitchhiked through snowstorms, jumped freight across the desert, designed a quirky existential clock and also a very serious one. Until I come up with my own lifelong ambition, I’ve been cribbing Milan Kundera’s: “to unite the utmost serious of question with the utmost lightness of form.”

Want to know more about me? Here’s an interview I did with gothamist.com back in 2004. And here’s me in 2023 on the UK’s Monocle Radio. And here I am on my new Substack, trying to explain why I jumped in the (freezing) Atlantic Ocean this New Years Day.
