About Me

ok - I'm the original cactusboy - have been so since the 80's, and any others out there have either made the same isolated choice (in which case I doff my dog-eared hat at you) or seen my name on a forum and stolen it (in which case I'd like to think that earwigs will nibble your skin off in the night :P especially the guy on here who's supposedly from Mexico and hasn't done ANYTHING with his page)-ahem-A freelance 3D animator, graphic designer, musician (guitar, piano, vocals, drums)I'll consider any kind of work, and will always come up with the goods...I also design tattoos, if anyone is interested?Right - business bit over with...I grew up in Blackburn, and moved to Kingston-upon-Hell when I was 17 to go to university (I got shoved through school a year early - got 12 O levels and 4 A levels and still knew nothing...studied (hides) accounting...got degree, joined band, sacked off idea of working, drew cartoon strips, taught music in youth clubs, became an arts development worker, taught myself graphics and 3D animation, had numerous and torrid relationships, toured the country, supported lots of bands including Cast, The Manics, and Freakpower.Bought a house now, but not exactly domesticated.Had a wonderful 3 legged dog called Edith - died 4 years ago, but I'm sure I'll meet her again somewhere, somehow...I know my pic makes me look like a serial killer but I can assure you that I only do that at weekends :D
