Design: illustration, typography, VJing, learning as much as I can.
Mavericks, body language, people watching, men watching! (:D) origins, identity . . . cultural and national identity, stereotypes, science of gut reactions, international football, delusional people, dancing my arse off all night long, big noses, nice smells, edges of islands, pointless research, making resolutions and seeing how quickly I can break them, writing lists and losing them, buying books, getting excited about them and forgetting to read them . . . .
producers, musicians, DJs, promotors, designers, illustrators . . . people with LOADS of energy, passion & love for what they do
. . . just some more good honest people . . . . . . . .
