CURRENT MISSION

My favourite quote is from Brighton rock "his chest ached with the effort to enclose the whole world"

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page"

Interests

Working in film I spend my days decorating sets, rummaging in op shops and moving a hell of a lot of furniture...art directing isn't as glamorous as you think. But joking aside I have an awesome job and spend my days being creative.

In my spare time I love to paint, I have two degrees in art and art history and briefly attended the royal academy in my youth. In london I used to design tattoos in my spare time, and I'm always sketching. I LOVE to read. Karouac, Huxley, Ginsberg, Hunter S.Thompson...

When it comes to films it's all about cinematography and sound, you can't beat Ridley Scott, Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Frank Darabont, Coppola, Hitchcock, Tarantino...

Above everything I love music. Blues and psychedelic rock I could listen to for a lifetime. Jazz, reggae, country, classical, 90s hip hop, alternative- A very eclectic taste! My heroes are Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, the Doors, Nirvana, Ella Fitzgerald, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, MF Doom, Neil Young, Pixies, Pink Floyd... to name a few!

I have a passion for cooking and exploring different cuisines, chuck some ingredients at me and I'll rustle you up something tasty (hopefully).
