Interests

  • General

    My main passions lie in art & design, but I also have a huge passion for music, just got a pair of nice new Sennheiser HD595's so am currently listening to parts of my music I didn't know existed! I love glitchy electronic sounds, and prog rock, but can most often be found lost in the sounds of shoegaze.

    I also love photography and can often be found taking pictures of almost anything. My aim this year is to do a lot more travelling, especially in the UK and see places I haven't seen before even though they've been on my doorstep all along! I also love trying new recipes as i'm enthusiastic about cooking, not sure how good I am but I love it anyway!

About me:

Photobucket

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU CAN NOW BECOME A FAN ON FACEBOOK - I DON'T USE MYSPACE OFTEN SO IT WILL BE BETTER FOR UPDATES :) JUST SEARCH FOR SQUINK

I'm a Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Coffee Addict from a small town between two cities, I could tell you the tale of them, but i'm sure i'd be breaching a copyright law somewhere in the middle of my story. I set up Squink! in 2006 and have since created artwork for a number of shows worldwide, and self produced a few t-shirts and hoodies but most recently I settled into painting, customizing a variety of vinyl toys for shows worldwide, I love being able to get my characters out there on a 3D form! I have on occasion accidentally consumed paint water by mistake, and I wouldn't recommend it!

I'm always more than happy to talk to people, I am completely down to earth, and am definitely not not one of these artists who sits in a shiny tower, refusing to talk to anyone without some form of golden key to the door! One of my major annoyances is how a huge majority of of big name artists will ignore real people (i.e the people buying their art and keeping them in a job), yet respond with haste to other known artists, it's quite sickening actually.

If you would like a chat, need artwork, or design for your project, or need anything at all, just drop me a message and i'll get back to you asap!

You can view more work on my website, and also pick up items such as pin badges, custom toys, and more artwork on my store (see below) *I am just updating this page, so please bear with me as I add, and re-add artwork, etc*

    haha, thats much to complicated for me :D
  • Zoe

    Oh cool! yeah i can imagine that would be really annoying. What are you using to make it? I'm trying to get my work from uni online at the moment - sorta like an online cv thing. And I think I'm just gonna use freeway, as I don't want to over complicate things :) and it does the job for what I need. I don't know anything about making websites, thankfully my brother and my dad do haha.

    Oh crikey! thats what I get. along the top of my arms near my shoulders. Kinda like heat rash really I suppose - but it seems much worse and it'll still be there even when I'm not hot lol. Once its there it doesn't go away for ages. Bloody sunshine. But I like it at the same time, which is a bit of a pain lol.
    I get hayfever too pretty badly - so I think maybe I'm just doomed haha.
    Are you making your site yourself? x

    hi there! I'm inside :( But I'm enjoying it visually haha. It looks lovely outside, although - I tend to get run rash because I have stupid skin lol. I think I might have been born a vampire haha. Apart from that I like the sun lol. Are you out in the sun enjoying yourself? x

    Yeah a know the feeling - really not a lot about work wise - I'm gonna have to start the big hunt myself soon :)<br />You should go for it and do a degree I reckon! Its always a bonus to meet people with the same interests as you :D
  • Zoe

    Apr 9 2009 3:47 PM

    Oh crikey! never a good time is it when something like that happens! Especially when you have so much to think about at the same time. What kind of 'real jobs' are you looking for? haha.<br />I can't think that i have any adventures coming up lol, no festivals or anything for me this year, which is a shame! I still have an exam to complete at uni in May, so have to go back for that. And our contract on our house doesn't run out for a while, so i think it might just be a few months of drinking and doing not much else :D which I'm not complaining about :D<br /><br />Any adventures for you? Aside from finding work?

    hey :) Things are alright thank you :) Just finished uni for good - so was stressed out for the last month or so haha.<br />So this week I have been mainly doing nothing and enjoying freedom! Although i have to say its getting a bit boring.....hehe. So no, been up to nothing fun or exciting, just lazing about as a treat haha<br /><br />How about yourself?x
