I'm a creator, thinker and a dreamer and I like to make things
. Welcome to my collection of random thoughts, ideas and creations, neatly packaged in the form of a website.
Don't be suprised at what you find here. I've spent a long time trying to contain my interests in the world around me but have finally given up. Instead I just write, draw and collect things, a digital magpie if you like, flying from one shiny thing to another.
Feel free to stay and look around. Who knows what you might find.
Stuff interesting me at the moment

Barack Obama - Hope
Just over a year ago Barack Hussein Obama II was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009 so I though it would be a good time to reflect upon how he was represented graphically by one image created by Shepard Fairey.
