Doodling, begging for small change, going to shindigs and gigs, scribbling on toilet walls, touching up trees, trying to figure out what I'm doing, wandering round galleries with my headphones turned right up, avoiding chavs, taking photos and spraying a teflon coating on everything. Just generally trying to stay alive....
I'd like to meet:
Chuck Norris' fist, Nelson Mandelas brain, Gil-Scott Herons tongue, Rachmaninovs fingers, Fourtets laptop and a salami I once met called 'Juan'. I also want to eat a Koala bear seeing as everything else is on the menu here in Oz.
