Robin, inspired by the legendary garb-making
abilities of his friend Tyrson of Darksphere, founded Fish Head Fashions
in mid 2004. Robin is an active member of the SCA, residing in the
Barony of Bhakail. A member of the famous Bhakaili Branslers Band, he
plays the hammered dulcimer, flute and tinwhistle.
Mundanely, Robin is pursuing a doctorate in Neuroscience at the
University
of Pennsylvania. He named his business in honor of his surly fish
device (see upper left), which came about after he was told that
clownfish just weren't period. He has two cats and a tankful of brackish
water pufferfish. He sews nearly all his garb (including his medieval pavilion tent) with a 1929 Singer sewing machine he refurbished himself.
