Alex Nodopaka speaks San Franciscan, Parisian, Moscowite, Kievlan and more after vodka, when suddenly he starts speaking English. He claims to have been immaculately conceived in Kiev, Ukraine and accidentally offloaded in Vladivostok, Russia. He studied tongue-in-cheek at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Casablanca, Morocco, then subscribed to eternal studentship in the US, where he has been doodling since 1959. His interests in literature and the visual arts are exhaustively multi-cultural.
