Please don't steal images from this page... I'm probably the poorest person you've ever met.

My Interests

I love art and design, and music... more than anything. Also, films, books, culture, local history. I love to tour with my band and see different cities... I love to hear old people telling me stories of their youth... and I love video games where I get to blast aliens! :P

I'd like to meet:

Other designers, illustrators, photographers etc.
Musicians who would like posters, CD covers illustrated etc. Magazines and fanzines that would like anything illustrated. Companies in need of brochures, catalogues, promotional material etc.
And just anyone in general who is interested in anything interesting.
