About Me

This is what I play around with when not being the disorganised guitarist in The Candy Store Prophets , or drawing, or putting out obscure comics ...
Apart from the new Candy Store Prophets tracks I'm also working with Jim Cameron ( no, the talented one you won't have heard of, who hates being called talented) on an animation. No idea when it'll get done.Every so often I'll write a mini-score to back-up his comics -strips.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
As from March 2008 I am now part of the Popera House Entertainment Family . Additional music and shiny things of mine can now be found t here .
There is now a FaceBook Page for Juxtagon
It's for anyone who's boat is floated by FaceBook , and yes, the comment on the wall there is true.
I'm not a FaceBooky Person ,myself but it's there for those who are.
