Szymon Dorabialski was born in Sydney to Polish migrant parents. As a child he was so terrified of other people that he could not be sent to kindergarten. Growing up in semi-remote bushland suburbia, his only friends were the local dogs, who would all show up at his home at sunrise to begin another day of questionable activities. Szymon has since become more or less a man and has learnt to coexist with humans in activities considered more or less appropriate. He is currently a candidate for MFA at SCA.
