About Me



I live and breathe in and out in Melbourne. I find myself perturbed by the weather and talk about it more than I really should. like that. I once was scientist now changed shape to be an artist. I paint, draw, animate and play fairly poor bass/guitar. I like enjoy growing lumpy hair, doing yoga and staring out of windows into the abyss. my hobbies include laughing, self doubt and paying gas bills. I love my bike and am fond of swimming in the ocean, The League of Gentleman, feedback and old paint that peels off walls due to to rising damp. I still have most of my teeth and think I would rather expire than stop scribbling and making art. One day I would like to live near the coast with a flock of goats and a machine that makes me enough money to pay for their food. Here's a couple of links to more of my stuff (www.picnick.com.au www.theluminary.com.au)
