Andrzej Pilipiuk

Andrzej Pilipiuk b. 1974 – already as a child he felt an overwhelming repulsion to school and a tendency to fantasize.

Time spent on homework was regularly wasted reading books. Laziness and making unrealistic dreams meant that he did not get any sensible profession and now he has to live on 500+ collected for his offspring and writing fantasy. We're displaying him at the convention as a deterrent to your children and other young rascals.
