I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I like red wine and tea alot. I'm also a big fan of rummaging around in junk shops, fueling my obsession for old vinyl, shiny things and unusually shaped 70's chairs. I'm fond of a good book although I'm not very good at finding the time to read many. It has been said that I walk very quickly. When the mood takes me I like to dabble in nights of gin induced dancing and a gig or two never goes amiss either. I'm a pretty good cook.The day job consists of shuffling paper at the art college and I also do freelance design stuff, like wallpaper and fabrics for sofas, from the confinds of my office/studio/living room. I'm saving to do an MA. I like drawing and etching illustrations too. I also help promote various gigs in Leeds and do the odd bit of flyer and poster design. When I'm bored I like to sit in the garden or listen to records very loudly, either is generally combined with a cup of tea in one of my many vintage tea sets!

My Interests
