About Me


im an artist/designer/photographer and all-round creative type person raised in the hills of sydney (2154). i like to ride my skateboard on the streets, play football, drink sars, eat chocolate, bong on, chill out, sleep in, listen to music, read magazines, watch movies and TV, surf the net, hang with jac, draw and paint pictures, and capture moments in time with my nikon. i'm usually in a relaxed/chilled state... i've found it be the best option.
