About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to Marseille! Show people my drawings...

ABOUT ME

I have quite a lot of artistic ambition, I will probably be making art all of my life, but at the moment I am currently in my second year at University. Originally I am from the historical city of York but I have lived in London for the past two years. I am pretty chilled out, I like to read, draw, watch tv, sleep, smoke now and again, look at art and travel to different places!

I also make prints of my artwork and I am involved in a collective of artists called "Heuberger". We produce books, t-shirts and posters which you can see here - WWW.HEUBERGER.CO.UK

PHILOSOPHY

Try to chill as much as possible... until things start to make a bit more sense, hopefully that's not too far away in the future!

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment i'm into Phillip K Dick (A Scanner Darkly, Do Androis Dream of Electric Sheep), but my favourite writer is probably John Steinbeck (Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row, Of Mice and Men), I also like Bukowski an Kerouac, and the general ethos behind these writers.
I read quite a lot of graphic novels, Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes etc.

I like dark/interesting stories.

I'm into lots of different music, Hip Hop, Punk, Country, Electronic -
Chinese Man, Notorious BIG, Miles Davis, Rancid, NOFX, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, James Blake, Hank Williams, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cypress Hill, The Distillers, Joanna Newsom - too much stuff to write down here, but you can look through my music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Moscow, St. Petersburg. Brooklyn, Baltimore and Virginia were pretty amazing too
