Don co-founded MartiniBoys.com in 2000. Professionally, he is creative director at a Toronto media firm. But martiniboy-based inspiration comes from a lengthy stint as art director at an interactive online firm. He is terminally amused, perpetually aroused, and knows more than he's saying. Do not feed him after midnight.
