I also watch random weird educational programs too well i say educational but most of the time they just make me laugh.. 'troll chin'...
I don’t tend to read much but when I find something I like I can get into it quite a lot.. I’m fond of comics and graphic novels, more so Japanese horror anime comics.. Junji Ito being my favourite for his Gyo comics and Uzumaki trilogy. I’ve recently got into Alan Moore’s books too. Chuck Palahniuk is one author who’s books I love to read, I’ve read nearly all his books but by far my favourite are, Diary, Choke and Invisible Monsters. I’ve also got a large collection of anatomy and interesting reference books, just anything that will inspire me or give me some help with my sculptures.
One of my biggest heroes is Ray Harryhausan, watching his movies from like a age of 3 years old got me on the right path which lead me to where I am now. I met him not too long ago at a book signing.. He said he couldn’t possibly pronounce my name..
