About the author

From the moment i picked up a stick i wanted to create , studying fine art for some years at intermediate and Advanced levals included photography, painting, sculpture and ceramics ive made money along the way but not enough to sustain a healthy appetitie for all things fun and adventurous, ive taken jobs from the good(working as a painters apprentice , building frames and stretching canvases,tattoo design,portrait photography and shooting a documentary) the bad(little cheff employee,restaurant work generally,technical cleaner of Aeroplanes) and the down right rotten( this i will leave for you dear reader to fill in for ones self based on the above info) this has been the only way to keep moving fowards, side ways and occasionally bkwards but always practicing and creating as one gets along. I then upped and moved to Leicester to study Animation design swapping The stick for a computer.

Background

weird wonderfull and useless to all,My work tends to be on the darker side of life( so it has been said to me )they are engaging and detailed nocturnally meloncholic this is where my sensibilities are and there seems to be no escapping this.I like to tell stories through visual means. Ive travelled finding other sticks working abroad along the way; busked through my drawing,having fun on the way -selling work to famous people wont necessarilly bring more work but it can pay for a snow boarding trip for eg. time to focus. I have some awarded pieces of paper 3 distintions in Art and design and a 2.1 from the Animation studies,
