okay, just for fun
what does trevor brown look like? - how do you imagine trevor to be? - why doesn’t he allow photos? - answers anyone?

(i’l probably delete any comments from those who do actually know what i look like …if they’re not sufficiently flattering!)

    Do you look anything like that guy you had signing copies of your Alice book? ; )

    Trevor Brown exists only in your mind, via electrical impulses on your monitor, and ink on pages, he is like the whisper in your ear telling you something is beautiful when all you see is catastrophe in front of you.

    No matter what face he attached to the name, it would shatter any and all illusions about him.

    There must be quite a lot of Trevor Browns in the world. Safety in numbers, eh?!

  5. Echo said on 18 Jul 2010 at 9:56 pm

    Because of your association with them, I’ve always thought of you lookin a bit like one of the Whitehouse boys.

    i’m thinking kind of tall, dark blonde hair? this is killing me!

  7. zachip said on 18 Jul 2010 at 11:15 pm

    i will say curly wild hair.
    but definitely Doc Brown. hey you even have the same last name right? ;-)

    BTW Trevor, i recently re-discover your work through Alice book (i first took a glimpse of your work via Zorn “The Gift”)and after that i become an avid fan of your work already obtaining all your treville publishing books (total of 6).
    keep up the great work ! We will continue to support.

    what is intresting is that, bookdepository.co.uk is selling
    Trevor Brown books !!!
    is the homeland finally appreciating your work?

    Best from Israel.

    As best I can tell from the scant photographic evidence, Trevor resembles Michael Caine after a hard night out.

    Third and fourth hand accounts all report a charming, witty and retiring nature.

    He doesn’t allow photos because at first he felt it added a certain mystery to his artistic persona, and now it’s just his nature and it amuses him to keep Gea and his other ardent admirers guessing….also, there’s that unfortunate matter of those murders near Swansea, back in the 70’s.

    Somebody who exerts sexiness, is all comes to mind.
    In a kimono, of course.

  10. Bonnie said on 19 Jul 2010 at 7:57 am

    ha, this is something ive paid a lot of thought to. i always thought you would look something like jarvis cocker. i deffinitly picture you as kind of geeky, tall, thin and with glasses. i would be really sad to find out you were short, fat and had a ginger beard ;_;

  11. rin said on 19 Jul 2010 at 8:50 am

    tb looks like hugh grant with dreamier eyes & a more dazzling smile.

    actually, i think he’s the black guy with the salt&pepper beard pictured above.

  12. Doll Fan said on 19 Jul 2010 at 10:37 am

    i know you’re not the guy with the hat, beard and black shirt. That trevor brown is a musician. Trevor brown looks like Bob from the Church of the Subgenius.

  13. cement bambi said on 19 Jul 2010 at 11:21 am

    You’re not planning to expose yourself at the conclusion of this thread, are you Trevor? : )

  14. trevor brown said on 19 Jul 2010 at 12:24 pm

    Oo-er…. You’ll be needing these then:

    The only photo in that group even remotely plausible is col-4, row-3. Stubble beard, small cap, askew knowing smirk - like some Frenchman in a Louis Malle film.

    Echo: “Because of your association with them, I’ve always thought of you lookin a bit like one of the Whitehouse boys”.

    That’s funny as I’ve always half pictured him looking a bit like Venetian Snares. It’s not something that’s a deeply held belief, more like an impression that I can’t shake without something else to replace it (which may be Doc Brown after this thread).

    …I picked up the issue of Too Negative (1995) with Gas Mask Doll on the front this morning (Thanks Timeless!). I was very pleasantly surprised to see some TB pics that I’d not seen before… very cool. It was great to see an artifact from the hedon-guro-istic 90s (don’t believe the hype that the 90s were gay).

  18. napalm said on 19 Jul 2010 at 9:56 pm

    I could tell you the color and length of hair, a small gift at the reception included a painting .

  19. Liz said on 20 Jul 2010 at 2:34 am

    Haha what a great post Trevor…. Bonnie made me laugh out load, so near yet so far…..

  20. speedyE said on 21 Jul 2010 at 11:56 am

    i always thought u would look like a monty python/john lydon ugly type of brit, but i could be wrong u might actually look like a christian bale/jude law type of brit!

  21. rin said on 21 Jul 2010 at 4:05 pm

    third row, first picture is the closest approximation to my mental tb.

  22. cattlest said on 21 Jul 2010 at 5:27 pm

    I think I’ve seen a picture of TB. The person in the picture had wild curly red hair I believe, but I couldn’t make out the face behind the hair. I really wonder how far off I am..

  23. John said on 22 Jul 2010 at 3:46 am

    have you still got longish blonde hair? vaguely remember seeing a faceless/blacked out picture of you on your wife’s blog, although maybe that was just covering up the word ‘trevor’ which actually makes up your face… (recalled from a picture i saw of you two with gaspar noe aeons ago)

  24. an:Dreas said on 22 Jul 2010 at 6:30 am

    have to come to the next book signing ;) ;b

  25. troll said on 22 Jul 2010 at 8:17 am

    you might look nerdy

  26. rin said on 22 Jul 2010 at 1:07 pm

    curly… red… aw shit! http://goo.gl/VQM5

  27. cement bambi said on 22 Jul 2010 at 1:18 pm

    I think john is onto something there …. Actually I think Mr. B looked rather cool in an unreformed aging 70s rock star kinda way, when spotted at exhibition a few years ago. So, no need to worry about him being a fat, balding, toupe wearing, ginger bearded dwarf, or any other nightmare scenario for TB fans….. Unless he’s totally gone to seed since then, of course.

  29. trevor brown said on 22 Jul 2010 at 9:01 pm

    i look like this! - or at least i did 17 years ago - but it’s still applicable today

  30. trevor brown said on 22 Jul 2010 at 9:06 pm

    i look like riff raff, or a glam era brian eno, so people say - as unfair as it is flattering?!

  31. Doll Fan said on 22 Jul 2010 at 9:53 pm

    I forgot, what is your age TB? I used to have long hair. Now I regret cutting it! But it at the same time it got me a girlfriend (now ex). She never did understand my taste in your art. Oh well!

  32. cement bambi said on 22 Jul 2010 at 11:25 pm

    How about Daevid Allen of Gong?

  33. Bonnie said on 23 Jul 2010 at 8:43 am

    now when i think of you all i can see if the first on the third collum.
    anyway, im happy as long as your not fat. for some reason it really does distress me to think of you as overweight

    It seems unlikely, but this is the only photo I can find of a Trevor Brown that looks similar to Brian Eno ;p

  37. rin said on 25 Jul 2010 at 4:32 pm

    that’s the maf’ in the third row! hahaha.

  38. Jurassik Dark said on 26 Jul 2010 at 7:03 am

    I think he’s blonde, blue-eyed, thin and tall with a 3-day beard, always smiley and dressed in black.

  39. trevor brown said on 1 Aug 2010 at 10:43 am

    in fact there IS a photo of me somewhere - just one click away from this page!

  40. said on 2 Aug 2010 at 8:07 am

    My feeling tells me, it is the link of Nate …

    vauge much? so tempting….but i like the mystery :)

  42. trevor brown said on 3 Aug 2010 at 10:14 pm

    obviously no one has EVER clicked it - hint: about

  43. Doll Fan said on 4 Aug 2010 at 8:53 pm

    I’m lost click where?

  44. Doll Fan said on 4 Aug 2010 at 8:59 pm

    Found it! So your not Bob of the Church of the Subgenius but your just as mysterious. Give us a new photo, that photo was in one of your books. OH, the mystery!

  45. Melissa said on 7 Aug 2010 at 12:57 pm

    hahah, funny :P found it

    too bad little boys and girls have to grow up!
