About me:
I write, I make music, I take pictures, and I design stuff. I like to create things, I like to help, I like to explore, I want to experience as many things as possible, I like small details, nothing is ever finished, I like to sit in fields, I like sleeping outside, I like it when it snows and I love heavy rain, I like to remember everything, I hate missing things, memories are important, I like old or worn out things, I like variety, I like old patched up clothing, I try not to panic, I'm disorganised, I have a terrible attention span, I constantly go off on tangents, I value my integrity and I'm stubborn 'til the end, I'm often an idiot and I apologise in advance.
Buy me a Guinness
I play guitar/sing for a grindcore/doom band: The Atrocity Exhibit. We like to play really fast and then really slow. Have a listen, be our friends.
I've made quite a lot of harsh noise/power electronics under the guise of Drillcock!!. This project is currently on hiatus, but will probably awaken in the future. I've got about 25 tracks recorded and hidden away.
There's loads of other things I want to do as well, I'll hopefully find time before I'm hit by a bus.
I'm a freelance graphic designer as my main job (I also do a little bit of copywriting and photography...), I've had quite a bit of work published in various forms and media over the last few years. I've got a portfolio of sorts online ( www.theendless.co.uk) and I do a lot of work for bands and record labels, especially Anticulture Records. Come check out our bands! Go!
You can see some of my photography on my Flickr. I've not taken any for a while, I'm hopefully going to get a new camera soon.
I'm also the tour manager for Austrian/American Action-Adventure Hardcore Rock & Roll superstuds ArnoCorps and I'm just about to go on my second UK tour with them.
Aww, you had to work sunday?! :( *compassion* Me... I mean We, had one too many drinks with some friends. It was such a bad idea, but it's late for thinking now. Was your weekend just about as eventful or did you work?xx
fucking hell thats weird. i had a dream about you and danny last night! we were buying meaty sandwiches, i had to get money out the cash machine and it gave me a £4.99 note, a £2.99 and a £1.99 note. how strange! and yes hopefully i will be there, not got enough money for the ticket yet though. i am so damn poor!
Wellll...it was just released here on DVD. We just watched the last episode, and I'm so sad. :( I hate when great shows just end like that. I heard about "Black Books" though, and I guess it has Simon and Nick in it, so I'll check that out.
James, we know that the muscle mass that you gained while on tour with us is not enough thanks, and neither is any kind of monetary compensations. Come on right there! What we have here is an eternal hero's debt that will be paid over years of action and adventure right there. Until next time... let us extend our deepest gratitudes and appreciations! You TRULY ARE a goddamn hero!
