But thats enough about that, lets talk about me.
I am The Almighty Bobbu. But then you already know that, it says it quite clearly at the top of the page! So, what am I?
I am an artist, a performer, a writer, a poet, a lover, a deviant of the sadistic and dominant variety.
I am pipe smoker, a philosopher, a spiritualist, an empath, a web designer by necessity and a lover of humanity by choice.
I am bipolar, an ethicist, an individual, a philosophical and political anarchist of sorts, a shameless human being, and not a liar.
And I do hate trying to describe myself, as there is no real 'me'. I am a being who is aware of existing, and that, pretty much, sums it up.
Artist
I am an artist in every sense of the word, working in any medium I can, from sculptures in clay and plastacine to painting anything from walls to postcards (primarily in acrylics). These days I'm even venturing into film and animation, photography being an old favourite of mine. I always like to throw my heart and my head completely into anything I do, so everything I do means something very intense to me, and I can only hope that my work succeeds in its aim of making people think and feel with a little more intensity than they do in everyday life. The best place to find my work at the present moment is my DevitantArt page - bobbu.deviantart.com .
Performer
I have a fair bit of performance experience, from college productions to hosting parties and events in role as a compere. I love taking on another persona and living it out on a stage or where-ever it is that I happen to be performing! It's just another art form, and one I take great pleasure in. When performing comedy I've been compared to Spike Milligan, the Pythons, and Bill Bailey at one time or another - here's one of the reasons why...
Poet
I am a rather prolific poet. Well I'm pretty prolific with everything I do, producing silly amounts of work in general. There's not much of it about at the moment - I'm going through an editting phase. My work tends to be of an emotional, political or philosophical bent; I'm a man of both heart and head, and my various collections of writing hopefully show as much. I do love reading my poetry though, it just adds that extra dimension.
That was recorded in December 2006, at a charity event in Liverpool. It was in a time I know as B.D. - Before Dreadlocks...
Web and Graphic Designer
I am a burgeoning webdesigner, always trying to push my philosophy into interactive media - 'there's no reason for anything to not look good'. Functionality and aesthetics are always in need of effective blending, and as a webdesigner I make that my aim. In this respect, I work as and for the magnificent Mortis2000 Ltd !
We are in the business of conception, design, innovation and solution. We pretty much do anything you could ever need, business-wise, in the modern age. Website design, development and production, connectivity, networking, custom computer builds, graphics... hell, you name the challenge, we'll complete it, so long as it's within a generally techie and arty sphere. It's thanks to the guys at Mortis2000: Jamie Reader - the founder, Robbie Dixon - the most tech-savvy of us all, and Mike, the man with a van. I mostly make it all look pretty, and the guys make it work. But I am more than capable of doing most of the techie stuff myself, as many of my friends are very aware!
