About Me


Welcome to MY space, the superest, chago-est space!

Anywho, hello all, I am a graphic designer, not the wanky type thhat passes himself off as an artist, I just design. And I also love...
So anyways, this week I went out five nights in a row... That hurt, almost as much as being kicked in the teeth...
Did you guys know that drinking too much can alter your perception of the world? i.e. Give you false confidence in your fighting abilities and can also impair your ability to see that the short skinny tongan guy is actually very tall and very big. Never happened to me, but I thought it's nice of me to pass it along...
Anyways, my mate Jeff, he calls me an Animal. I think he thinks I do crazy things, like ride my bike with my mate Ben from my house in Ashbury to the blue mountains (75kms) in about 4 hours. Apparently thhat takes my humanity away and replaces it with the affectionate title thus named...
Ok, well that's all, and oh!! I will design for food...
