Bruce Sutherland has been in corporate IT world for almost 30 years and was one of the original computer nerds. As an early adopter of the internet and its technologies, he built his first website in 1994 and set up his own joke site in 1996, which was featured in The Citizen. In 2008, as a victim of restructuring, he found himself with time on his hands and finally knuckled down to something he’d contemplated doing for a long time: supplementing his joke site. And so Faceless was born in 2009, after many different characters, figures and styles were tried and discarded. As it gained a following, strips were spotted in the wild (behind toilet doors, on other websites, in emails sent on by friends and, more recently, in Playboy South Africa), and there was an increasing demand for a book. He self-published the first Faceless book in 2010, the first collection of published Faceless strips in 2011 through RHS, and now Faceless - The Second Collection. Bruce lives on a game farm in the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.
