Victor Allen Crawford III (born March 22, 1968), better known by the sobriquet Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy, is an author, graphic designer, and illustrator. His first book, The Affected Provincial's Companion, Vol. I, was published by Bloomsbury in 2006; in late 2006 Infinitum Nihil, Johnny Depp’s production company, purchased the film rights to The Companion.[1]

In 1994 he created the popular Apogee typeface, which was exhibited at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and used in the Sci-Fi Channel series Andromeda.

Crawford currently lives with his wife Susan Crawford in New Egypt, New Jersey, where the pair run the creative firm Plankton Art Co. Among their most notable commissions is a 400-illustration ocean identification key for the American Museum of Natural History, which was completed in 2003 and will remain on display for thirty years.
