Who is Marko Veznaver?

Hey folks,

I just got the full set of the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Dimension X Escapade cards. They're apparently tea cards from Brooke Bond, which I understand is common practice in the UK (coolest thing I've ever seen as a bonus in US tea boxes are thumbnail-sized Noah's Ark figurines).

Anyway, the cards mention one Marko Veznaver as the creator of the "Hippy Hippos" that momentarily clash with the Turtles, as well as Krang's Robot Wolves. All that's mentioned about him is that he's an "Australian Poet" born in the 1960's, and that he's a "Hero Turtle specialist" and "studies the ancient art of ninjitsu".

So I tried Googling him, and his name does not come up a single time.

So who is this chap? A psuedonym? A tea card designer with a high opinion of himself? Did he ever do any character work outside of these cards, and did he ever use the Hippy Hippos and/or Robot Wolves in anything else? I'm positively baffled over this.

Thanks for any help!
