About Me

The Prawn Tamer

Add to My Profile | More Videos
My name is Adam. During the week you may find me fannying around Swindon College, as I am currently doing a Fine Art degree. I generally paint but at the moment I am doing a bit of other stuff like videos and the like. You can see my paintings on my pictures. If you would like to purchase any of them send me a message and we shall work something out.
I have been in various bands over the last few years, which can be heard on that player thingy up there, at the moment it is "The Luth" and we are playing fairly regularly around these parts...you should come and have a lookie.
On Sundays I play football for Greenmeadow and enjoy scoring. People think I am little greedy, maybe I am, but so was George Best and he was the Johnson.
I also do bit's of writing for a local magazine called Purton Today now and again as well.
And for all this, I work as a till-monkey at Asda Walmart, which is a bit crap but will do for now.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/8/2005
Band Website: powpowpow.co.uk
Band Members: How well do you know Adam The Brave
Influences: Musical obsessions from when when I was,

12-14 - Prince

15-20 - Blur

16-18 - Led Zeppelin

17-23 - Sonic Youth

18-22 - Idlewild

21-25 - 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster

23-24 - The Birthday Party

23-25 - Cardiacs

Obviously there are more inbetween and after these stages.

Artistic obsessions

Started liking the expressionists - Kirchner, Soutine, Munch etc.

Then - Arthur Boyd, Guston, Rousseau etc.

Now - Shrigley, De Kooning, Basquiat etc.

Once again there are more inbetween and after these stages.

Thing is, I still get more worked up over Football, rather than Art and Music. I think it is because I was born in Swindon.
Sounds Like: "We all have a porpoise, but not all of us have a dolphin to give us courage to push the boat out"

Art is.....

Personally I do art for catharsis. I don't always enjoy painting, sometimes it is boring and I get impatient, hence why my paintings are often done quickly. I am an incredibly impatient person I have ...
