art
Drawing and painting at Primary School, after others left the medium. meant I continued to developed skills and my imagination through visual means as well as the usual channels.
gigs
My first gig was attended aged 14 with an older friend. That was the start of many visits to venues all over the country and Europe. I still go to see many bands, both old and new.
architecture
When aged 9 I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I responded, ‘a Naval Architect’. The Naval aspect due to my Dad having been a Naval rating in his young days and Architecture, just always there. even when using plasticine.
graphics and illustration
I always had a graphic element to my artworks. My tutors were pushing me towards Fine Art. I chose to be more pragmatic and studied Illustration with Graphics.
deejaying
Art Students in my local pub found I had a big vinyl record collection and asked me to dj at house parties. That was the start which led to many years of gigs.
spatial design
In 2004 I came to a crossroads, it became apparent I needed to study Architecture in which i’d had a lifelong interest. So I embarked on an Interior Architecture degree.
