CURRENT MISSION

Get out of rut

ABOUT ME

I'm an artist primarily. I work in comics and other mediums, my style is a kind of lo-fi, graphic surrealism. I have more of a contemplative than an active personality , bit of a neurotic nerd but have much passion and enthusiasm for a lot of stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm the type of neurotic who could analyse the virtue out of almost anything. Fortunately things can't be reduced the more you think of them. For example jokes, friendship, art, love, understanding. These things could best be described as Transcendent and I guess would be what I live for

Interests

I love all kinds of art and culture: music, movies, books comics, fine art, television, fashion etc. Apart from making art myself I like going to gigs and exhibitions and participating in creative events, hanging out drawing with fellow drawers. Also like having a drink, going out, doing new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to sight particular examples for this one.I've felt the most euphoric hanging out doing creative stuff with people (a lot of 24 hr comics parties I've been involved in have been very dear to me)or any kind of hanging out where I've felt connected to peole, either thru goofing round or deep and meaningfuls
