I've been many things - shipyard engineeer, research sociologist, producer-director and a Jungian psychotherapist. Now I am very close to the character I invented. He's laconic, humorous. inventive ... and he never stops.

So this is all about Commander Wabbit and all about me! Follow the Wabbit is a long running story blog now with more than 1000 episodes. Commander Wabbit is a Secret Agent loosely attached to the Department of Wabbit Affairs in Turin, Italy. He works with a team of amazing pals who are animals but also pirates, dragons and androids. He's fond of vehicles but the most splendid is Quantum, a Time Travelling Train.

Each adventure is separated by an episode set in an Adventure Caffè. That's how you find an adventure in the archives. Use the search box to find Adventure or Caffè. Do cut and paste because of the Italian accent in Caffè. An exciting story has just ended ... and another is starting!

The Adventures are photo collage and text. But everything in the picture is a photograph. Characters and creatures are made from collage material of all sorts, then photographed and cut out. The background photograph is their stage and they are very particular about how it looks.

The Wabbit and Lovely Lapinette adventures are written by Coinneach Shanks and all photographs are by Coinneach Shanks unless otherwise attributed. Permissions for photo use are available at low cost to autism charities and animal welfare organisations. Normal permissions won't cost an arm and a paw either. Just write. Commander Wabbit himself may be reached at [email protected] and so can I. We are really most approachable and always looking for new ideas!
