About Me



Myspace Editor

Mmm...where do I start? Well,I'm a third year Fine Art degree student at Wirral Metropolitan College,Birkenhead(or the Heart Of Darkness as I call it).I'm currently painting abstract canvases based on the City of Liverpool,the greatest city in the world of course. When I'm not poncing around pretending to be an 'artist',I like to go out for a beer with my mates and having a laugh.I'm also big on music and have quiet an eclectic record collection.But I draw the line at crappy chart music and oh yeah,I hate Oasis. Thats about it at the moment,save to say that I have an annoying habbit of blogging or posting useless bulletins when I've had too much too drink....
