Skills of a Dangerous Man

About Me



I'm a photographer and graphic designer working for a sign's company but have a personal client list.

Worked in a call centre for 2 years and I'm never going back, over the past year it's been very difficult as a freelance Graphic Designer/Photographer but it's better than that rat race crap.
There's nothing I find more worthwhile than creating something for either myself or a commission. Currently I have over 200 sketches waiting to turn into personal pieces of work but are currently on hold due to reasons I cannot explain here.
And that's about it, people usually take me as I am, if there are specific questions then I usually answer them. There are only a few things I never talk about; apart from that I'm more or less an open book.

My Interests

I like having fun, going out with my friends when I can. Not much of late though. Working on personal projects which really need to get started and meeting new people.

I can be a social animal when there's fund in the bank!

I'd like to meet:

Honest people I guess, I've been messed around that much recently that I haven't got time for superficial mofo's.

I would also like to expand my network and create contacts that can help me with my artwork and gain commissions.

Music:

I listen to whatever inspires my work, big influences have been Radiohead, Flaming Lips, U2, REM, Lacuna Coil... practically everything in my itunes helps me out.

Movies:

Don't talk to me about films... I'm a complete freak when it comes to films. And I don't have a favourite film, I hate that as there are so many movies out there that are unique.

Television:

Right now I'm addicted to Lost, was addicted to 24 but then Sky got their grubby hands on it and seeing as I don't have cable or anything like that I can't watch it now... although when I've got the cash I might get series 4 and 5 on DVD

Books:

Allsorts... the bulk of my book collection at the moment it illustration book... on the literary side it's a combination of horror (Kim Harrison), techno-thriller (Tom Clancy) and biography (Chris Ryan)

Heroes:

Murdered parents, no super powers, lots of money, pointy ears and very scary... you know who I mean
