MySpace Free Layouts at MySpace ToolBoxCute Myspace LayoutsI'm an artist/illustrator just out of Central Saint Martins College, London with an MA in communication design. Have a peak at some of my work. I also did a BA in illustration at UWE Bristol. ***********************************************I MAKE THINGS. I like lace, glitter, gemstones, pearls, old fabric. I can't get enough old stuff, things with a haunting past. I love emeralds, magpies and dancing. I was a green sparkly fish in my first ever dance-show. I like to hold my breath. I like to stand on my toes until I can't take the pain and my toes are white then grey. I have a circulatory problem where my fingers and toes lose their blood in the cold, so turn white for minutes to hours. I am a pisces but I am terrified of being in the sea and being with the fishes to the point of having panic attacks (though I like to be near the sea and feel that I should be a mermaid, but know I would dry out on the rocks). I decided to never eat an animal ever again at the age of seven (and haven't). I wear long 1940s peach satin gloves with pearls at the wrists. I have hyper-extensile elbows and knees which makes getting into small places much easier. I like cold places, dark winter nights, being hungry, tasting snowflakes and berry picking. I would like to squeeze a bird with affection. I would like a pet raven or indeed a magpie as I love them dearly. Since the days of Suede's Sci-fi lullabies I have fallen for Sadie, the fragile wreck of a character and have wanted her for a name and for a companion. A Rose for Sadie is one of my favourite books, and hence I am Sadie Rose. I feel my life would be best shot as a silent fim noir with hints of sepia and antique cream, tinting the empty paint-rotten birdcages. I would like to be laying on the black mildew floor-boards in vintage hosiery and dirty old lace with bright blue sparrows and a magpie hopping about searching for gems. PERHAPS I AM THE REINCARNATION OF A VICTORIAN GHOST.
