ABOUT THEMANWHOFELLASLEEP 

Who is themanwhofellasleep? I am. I'm Greg Stekelman. I was born in February 1975 and have lived most of my life in north London, aside from my time at University in Leeds and a year in Granada in the south of Spain. My mother is a psychoanalyst and my father is an artist. In 2001, with lots of time on my hands, I started this website. This was is the time before blogs, and I didn't have many web skills (I still don't) but I had some good ideas and the urge to spread them across the web like dirty, irrelevant germs. The website grew more popular as word spread from continent to continent and to date this place has featured in featured in FHM online (in their 100 top websites section); it was website of the week in Bizarre magazine online and has been the subject of an article in the Independent on Sunday Talk of the Town magazine. It was also featured in WORD magazine. The Guardian guide also did a feature on the site and for the last 18 months the Tube Gossip section has been featured weekly in Time Out London under the heading of Overheard Underground. Themanwhofellasleep.com has also been mentioned online on hundreds of blogs, articles and messageboards. About a year ago I was approached by the Friday Project about turning the website into a book. I decided against creating a "best of the website" book and chose instead to use the material on the site as the basis for a novel. In April 2006 "A Year in the Life of TheManWhoFellAsleep" was released, complete with foreword by Julie Burchill. Reviews of the book have been positive, with Time Out London saying "This odd, excellent, fantastical diary offers a curious combination of dreams, London and deadpan humour, all wrapped in up in a quasi-fictional journal with funny illustrations". Vice Magazine UK called it "...one of the most imaginative and enjoyable diaries published since Brian Eno's A Year with Swollen Appendices" and described me as a "Woody Allen for the Ipod generation". Zoo Magazine described the book as a "surreal, morbidly entertaining novel written as a diary". Not bad, eh? In June 2006 the book featured in the Storyville segment of the XFM breakfast show. This meant that for one week, from Monday to Friday, I read out a one-minute installment of the book, complete with moody ambient backing music. So, what else do I do? Well, I am a jack of many trades. I've worked as a sub-editor on Sunday newspapers, written the news online for ITV, and I sometimes work as an e-learning copywriter. I've also written some comedy for Radio 4 and Radio 1. In recent months I've been pursuing one of my first loves and working as an illustrator, contributing drawings to London by London by the Friday Project and doing the cover of the new album by The Amateur Transplants. So, if you're looking for someone to write articles, do illustrations, edit newspapers, write radio or TV comedy or put together an e-learning course on just about anything, get in touch with me. If you just want to carry on reading the website and would rather that themanwhofellasleep maintains some air of mystery, then you probably shouldn't have read this page. I do not know what the future holds.   And now, because you were curious: themanwhofellasleep - a photographic history There. That's it.
