About Me

XMAS STILL??

I know its no longer anywhere near christmas but I'm sorry , i love this picture so it's staying, I may in future add my face to other notable toys and dolls.. fun and games :)My page contribution to the up coming RigidmouthTooIn a paralell universe I was in the film tron, somebody de-rezzed me but now I'm ok.I'm half Swedish half English, born here, my mum came over in '68 and never leftI started a design collective mid 2003 www.thechipfactory.co.uk which is also my company (theChipfactory Ltd) offering graphics/fashion/computer/web services. Have a look at the artists to see who we've worked with.
I like well designed items, filter coffee, and I seem to be treated like a tech support wherever I go, whether I know the answers or not. (I'm here to design things and you ask me how to use Excel? Do I look like I know how to use Excel??)I have taken most things out of here because I'm really doubting anyone but me reads it. I'm sometimes cynical, generally realistic and usually an optimist with bigger ideas. I love words and frequently use too many when I write.I like to think about everything and write my thoughts, as if designing my world, if that makes me a philosopher, theorist or crazy person then that is what I am. Silence is more alien to me than any sound.I sometimes feel like a paradox or a contradiction. I am an expressionless cartoon, numbed with hours of worktime, a shell with a hidden sense of humour and mild insanity. Beautiful sentences can have life above the words, and I quote..'Where does nothingness come from?' JP Sartre, although I think he himself was actually quoting. It was a revelation in an otherwise terse chapter.. If it means something to you please share your mind with mine.
'The reality of that cup is that it is there and that it is not me'I like to know how things work, how life works, I like my guitars, the subtle vibrations of plucking a string, I like to feel the difference between things so I know what I like umm.. I like natural things, I like manufactured things, I like logical things. At a push I could sit and stare at something and wander off into my own little world but there's always too much to do
and... aparently I do this when nobody is looking?!I edited my profile by myself. Not sure why you'd want to know that?! ...but everyone else seems to tell you who did it.

night (paradigm-) shift

What seperates night from day? Light & dark are signs but we can learn to ignore them.. being awake at 3am onwards, sober I might add, there's a sense of something undescribable; that everyone you kno...

The revolution has not been identified

This is my recent salute to the 60's, something I'v never really had the thought to do. I just bought my second guitar last week, and decided that I should hear some classic guitarrists to see what th...

do you ever get that 'cut your finger' feeling?

Oh golly.. oh ghosh.. no, just kidding. I'm super curious if you ever get this feeling that you've harmed yourself by accident when you probably haven't? I think that after these drinks it feels like ...
