A Diet Coke for me, if you please.

About Me

What about me? I am a film obssessed, games playing, chinese/indian food eating, theatre fan, book and comic loving, artist! That just about sums me up! I have a degree in Illustration and could quite happily sit and draw all day long; in fact, put me on the island where they film Lost and gimme some paper and pens and I'll be happy. At the moment I'm currently working in Germany at Crytek, and am loving every second of it. I also have a 'mild' obssession with Diet Coke (well, Cola Light is better) and coffee....especially Starbucks lattes!
