About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Curriculum Hi-Fi
----------
I have Peter Pan Syndrome
I collect plastic skulls, vinyl, obscure dvds, alt-independent comics, figurines, music, weird musical instruments, ugly dolls and kitten ear hats.
I play poker and Left 4 Dead ....A LOT
I love going to Jesmond Dene in Newcastle whenever I get the chance. It’s the most atmospheric place in the world. I go there and draw and paint, preferably when no one is about. It's even better when it's been raining and the smell of grassy dew is in the air
I'm an illustration student
Spare time: - If I'm not playing guitar, winding people up, wasting my life on photoshop or drawing/painting I'm drawing outside/hating the general public
I love buying £1 disposable cameras from Poundland, getting a DayRover busticket and going all over the place and taking pictures of people and places. I love taking photos in shops of people shopping, people sleeping on the bus, beautiful buildings and funny little moments. I collect these photographs and keep them in journals
Magazines I love: Fangoria, Empire, Hotdog, Fortean Times, Last Hours, Art Rocker, Fact ..........
Things I like? Ho hum let’s see ...erm, I like drawing, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/Indesign, kind eccentric people, geeks, swearing, collecting DVDs, comics, writing, prosthetics, theatre make-up, synths and er, lots of other things
Richard O’Brien is God and Dylan Moran is Jesus …a very drunk, swearing, complaining Jesus. More people would be willing to become brides of Christ if the real J was as choice as Moran. Eddie Izzard could be the devil! I always imagined the devil would be a bit camp and slurry.
I love that magical feeling that you get when you come home from seeing a really good gig. The feeling that makes you go home and pick up your guitar up
Recipe for Mel cake
------------------------
Add a spoon full of nihilism, smatterings of wackiness, a smidge of paranoia, a splash of cynicism, 3 scoops of laid-back, 2 dollops of quirky and in 28 Days – 06 hours – 42 minutes – 12 seconds you have Mel cake.
All this self-describing is making me wanna go take a cold shower.
I'm music obsessive with a penchant for spastic rock & roll synth pop weirdness ...and lots of other things. My favourite band will always be Brainiac with Pixies and Mclusky level pegging in second place with Devo coming in third. I used to have my own column in a Newcastle based music magazine but I stopped turning up. I plan to resume reviewing again soon
I like to poke fun and argue but it's all in jest.
I quote TV programs a lot
Tony Clifton is my alter ego.
I dislike political correctness. Everything and everybody is fair game in my book. Espcially me!
I want a pug dog named Egor.
I want to grow up to be a werewolf.
I HATE radishes.
I LOVE zombie movies and cartoons
I’m an ordained Reverend (from the life church, anyone can be one)and I have the certificate to prove it. It also says I'm a Reverend on my Mint card, is that Fraud?
Disclaimer: Non of the above text is true.
I love my organised mess.

Got me a movie,
Ha ha ha ho,
Slicing up eyeballs,
Ha ha ha ho,
Girlie so groovie,
Ha ha ha ho,
Don't know about you
but I am Un Chien Andalusia

Outsider Art

Again, trying out new styles. I'm going an album cover at the moment and I've been really interested in the Mexican Day of the Dead and Outsider/Naive art. It's harder to do than I thought as when you...

T-Shirt Design

This is a stupid project about designing badges and a t-shirt for a band called Split Seam (made up by the guest Illustrator that came to give a talk). We had to make a t-shirt out of iron on transfer...

Creepy Bed Monsters

I had to do 3 Illustrations for a children's book called The Running Companion that had very adult murderous themes. It's pretty hard to combine the two but people seemed to like the finished result. ...

Illustration Project 2

The brief was to illustrate women's concerns with weight and food and this is my shot at it - With the obligatory 3mm bleed around the outside included of course. The idea isn't that exciting but it w...
