About Me

My name is Steven Royles.I am an artist. I like things...and I like that I like things....especially things that I like. I make art. When i'm not making art I tend to eat, sleep and shit. I like chocolate. I mostly paint but I'm currently working on a set of drawings and poems. I don't make video art because it bores me senseless! I am writing a comedy television series about a job centre for television that isn't particually funny, so it sort of defeats the object but there you go! Get your layout at SpaceFiles.Net
