About Me

"SO-CRATES: THE ONLY TRUE WISDOM CONSISTS IN KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING!".....Hi. I'm a freelance illustrator from the UK...My artwork's influenced by everything from 50s hot-rod culture, vintage pinups and rockabilly designs to 90s surf art (fluorescent colours, dragster zombies), and even a bit of gothy Halloween stuff thrown in there (love Halloween, always have). A real mixed bag of styles...I also write and play music...guitar and keyboard (and I sing a bit too)...I love movie themes; everything from cheesy 80s soundtracks to the more epic strings 'n' brass orchetsrations...but mostly I just love my rock music...I skate, mostly on my Deathbox Wentzel Ruml, but the Z-Flex Jay Adams sometimes gets a run or two despite needing new wheels. I also bodyboard whenever I can get down to Cornwall, which is not nearly enough these days...Oh, and just one more thing....."Be excellent to eachother!".....words to live by, right there.XXX MyGen Profile Generator

Television:

Lots of really bad 80s/90s TV. We all watched the same stuff, right?...Oh and don't anybody give me that "I never watched Saved By The Bell" lie. You know you did...

Books:

I like wafer-thin books with big pictures and very few words, although that didn't used to be the case. I am getting more stupid the older I get...

Heroes:

Bill And Ted Clip... Excellent!
