About Me

I am an artist with a passion for colour, photography, wallpaper, spraypaint, felt-tips and paint. I love a bit of animation. I love getting my hands dirty. Love my apron. Love a bit of building. Love large imagery. Love beautiful books. Love Psychedelia. Love that old look that 60s gig posters have. Love parties and creative events and I'm ALWAYS keen to get involved in new things with people who are up for working hard and having fun.
