Do you know of a link where we might be able to see examples of his artwork?

yup: prepare to be amazed (or appalled...)

has a repro of the fairy feller's master stroke as a good size jpeg. There are plenty more out there on the net but you really have to see the originals to get a feel for the sheer madness of this guy's work.

Just stumbled across this link http://www.hevanet.com/demarest/dadd/index.html Catscratch

[edit] Cat

Is there a reason he isn't categorised as a British murderer? If not I'll add it. I realise he was mentally unstable but the article says he confessed to 'murder' and not 'homicide due to diminished responsibility...' so the cat would be fair. Malick78 (talk) 11:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
