About Me

That girl you see marching through London, wearing a lip ring, worn out cons, and an oversized parka, nodding her head along to some music or other... that's me.

I'm a post-grad student studying MA Art and Design History at Kingston, but work just as hard on my own artwork as my books. im not bad with a camera either... "what? so you think you can be an academic AND an artist?" ...Yeah. Just you watch me... ;-)

(Check out some of my stuff here (inc. the background) it's always good to hear what people think...)

My Interests

i'm really into visuals, aesthetics... anything that looks filthy cool and im totally seduced- magazines, album artwork, music videos, illustration, art generally. i still keep up my own artwork too and am building up an up to date portfolio as we speak. I play as hard as i study, and Fabric is so good some nights i wanna chew my own hand off and throw it at the dj... thats good.

Music:

im totally obsessed with music.... if u cant do it to music, whatever it is, it aint worth doin... some of my major loves are al green, james brown, jeff buckley, adem, jimi hendrix, incubus, air, lamb, bjork, slum village, death from above, jamie lidell and daft punk... there jus isnt space or time for a real list. who reads these bits anyway!?!

Movies:

all time best film ever is without a doubt...disney's robin hood... but others include garden state, life aquatic, lost in translation, spirited away, ghost in the shell (one and two) closer, eternal sunshine, crouching tiger, house of flying daggers, hero, memoirs of a geisha, all tarantino, most of tim burton's films... cant think of any others right now.

Books:

really into books fulla graphics and illustration at the moment. oh, you mean like books with writing? margeret atwood, tim burton, louis de bernieres, nick hornby, but the list is short cos i havent had time to read for fun in ages.

Heroes:

bjork.. she's fuckin amazin- beautiful, talented, different... x
