Hello and welcome to my little corner of myspace...

About Me

sit down and make yourself comfortable and I'll put the kettle on....

I've been working for years as a cartoonist/illustrator/animator...you can see my stuff at http://www.trevordunton.com...

Over the last two years though...as a result of some emotional surgery ie having my heart ripped out, used as a football, skewered, barbequed and served up with a nice chianti and some fava beans....i've become a songer singwriter

I write songs about life, sex, the universe and why a church in assisi fell on the heads of the people who ran into it for protection....and one day i'll learn how to spell assissi....

there's some demo's here

My Interests

I like to travel the world and end world hunger and bring peace to the middle east...and table tennis

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested creative interesting and funny...I wish I'd met Ian Dury...he was on my thank gawd they exist list.

I did actually meet two of my heros. Felix Topolski with whom I had an extremely stimulating and enlightening conversation about the unconsidered line in drawing...and Stanley Kubrick who just grunted at me and mumbled something about football

....I shit you not

Music:

oh christ on a bike...er paolo Conte, Tom waits, Paul Simon, Super Furry's, 10cc, Kinks, La's, Polly Harvey, early stones, chet Baker, Nile Rogers, Steeley Dan

....and tons of stuff i haven't even heard of yet and you're going to play me i hope

Movies:

Anything by the cohen bros...esp The Big Lebowski, anything by Almodovar, withnail and I, Clerks, kiss kiss bang bang (what a script), American Beauty (ditto), anything by Hal Hartley....and some guilty secrets...groundhog day (despite the Plank McDowell) and When H met S (always gives me a lump)

Television:

I LOVE the soaps!!...nah only joking. I'd rather rub my eyeballs with raw birdeye chillies. Hardly get round to watching any tv...and when I do there's usually brain numbing shite on...I only watch highbrow stuff like Quizmania...the Simpsons is a given & Peep show, Spaced and anything featuring Adam & Joe obviously. i do tune in to that stupendously lithe and agile mental athlete Danny Baker at 3.00pm weekdays on Radio London...I sometimes phone in and argue in a good humoured way with Vanessa Felch...and I'm sometimes actually on the wireless doing the early newspaper reviews to an audience of insomniacs and vampires....and i forgot have I got news for you...and never mind the buzzcocks, and literally en-knee-thing that has anything to do with Chris Morris, who is so funny it's shocking....Lordy I thought I didn't watch tv....I now realise I do nothing else

Books:

Just read The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gattis (league of gentlemen fame) which was dark, funny and debauched (of course)

Heroes:

my cat who is nearly 23 and a bit wobbly on her paws, Ian Dury, Chris Morris, Frank Zappa....and (dammit) Jamie Oliver for sticking his neck out while simultantously having his balls on the line...it's an awkward posture, try it...also i forgot to mention the genius Groucho Marx (I've had a wonderful evening, but this wasn't it)

My Blog
