About Me

I have a degree in Fine Art from Brighton University and used to be an Assistant Manager at a great small music venue in Brighton called The Freebutt. Now, I just create things that I may or may not try and pass off as art. Hopefully...In fact I am right now painting again after a considerable break. Kinda stuck in the whole abstract expressionist thing, but hey it's in me.Playing a lot of guitar again too. It feels really great to be creative again as I've been way too slack or distracted to let go and just DO it.
