Hello you, thanks for dropping in and having a gawp at me. Those who know me will vouch for what a thoroughly lovely specimen of blokness I am! (and soo modest too!) I love to laugh and make others around me laugh, I've been told I'm more fun to have around than a bagful of breakdancing monkeys! (although this was said during a rather booze soaked conversation). I live and work in the sunny concrete metroplois we lovingly refer to as Brum (AKA Birmingham). I work as a Graphic Designer for an agency and love letting my imagination and creative juices flow when I get the chance. When I'm not slaving away over a hot AppleMac, I'm usually found filling my time with Music, hanging out with my friends, riding around on my Vespa (the Modernist lifestyle is tres importante!) or just generally being a right little social monkey - all in all, Lifes Good!
Who I'd like to meet:
Lovers of life and all things fun. People kind of heart, gentle of nature, sweet of disposition, and faithful and true in virtue. And if you've got killer taste in good music, love the mod scene, appreciate the classic lines of a Vespa or Lambretta, and will do absolutely anything to satisfy a longing for good Sushi, then you're in like Flint with me!
THIS IS A SELECTION OF SOME OF MY ARTWORK THAT I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON. I'LL BE PRODUCING AND SELLING THESE AND OTHERS AS LIMITED EDITION PRINTS LATER THIS YEAR, SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR HANDS ON SOME COOL-AS-YOU-LIKE MOD ART, THEN DROP ME A MSG AND WE'LL TALK. I'M ALSO TAKING COMMISSIONS TOO! SO IF YOU 'RE LOOKING TO CREATE THAT ONE OFF GIFT FOR THE SOMEONE SPECIAL IN YOUR LIFE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.
HEY CLUBS! I ALSO DO FLYERS, POSTERS AND ALL MANNER OF PROMOTIONAL GUMPF TOO!

Er yeah....I kind of got overly drunk the other night and started exploring an unfinished attic in the dark and ended up falling through a ceiling panel and dangling into someone's kitchen - HAH! Kinda mauled my leg in the process. Good times, good times. ;P
