ABOUT ME

I'm a writer and musician. I draw silly sketches of things like toasters and write songs about girls.

PHILOSOPHY

Give and you are given. Defend and you are attacked, and BAM!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canoed the Grose River at high flood.
Sailed through storms, again and again.
Fished off Cooktown jetty for Spanish Mackerel.
Climbed to a mountain lake in Poland.
Swam in the French Alps at 8'c.
Loved a beautiful girl.
Recorded songs with a Nottingham Tenor.
Walked the Scottish highlands reciting beat poetry about whisky dreams.
Cruised through Sydney in white suits driving a red Ambassador.
Screamed off valleys till my throat hurt, and wished you'd heard!
Brought the flood, everytime.
Painted my name on the walls of town.
Couchsurfed and had my couch surfed.
Lived as someone else.
Lived as myself.
Flew to London for the weekend.
Ran naked down the highway, through the park, in the river, on the beach, everywhere.
Got jobs, left jobs.
Started a business.
