How would I describe myself. Well, I choose the word artist to describe myself. I love to create, I love to produce, I love to make things from nothing. I enjoy quality design, I appreciate style, and I strive for constant improvement. Since I left high-school I've been fortunate enough to have traveled, lived abroad, and worked professionally as an artist or designer. However, I'm not just an artist...

When I was a little kid, I used to love drawing comics. They sucked, but I loved it. I would photocopy them and compile them and sell them to my friends for 10p. I stopped making comics when I got to high school.

Many years later my interest was awoken by a flourishing interest in 'manga', comics from Japan. These featured stories and subtlety of which I had never seen in British or American comics, combined with such visual style that it really influenced my artwork from then onwards. After many years of failed projects I finally completed my first manga in 2001. That manga was named Attic. Since then I've gone on to make other comics and created a group called Sweatdrop for other British artists with Japanese style comics.

There was once a boy named Dock (well, kinda). When he was 4 years old his family got a commodore 64, and he played on it. He liked it. He liked it a lot! Shaking a crayon towards the sky he proclaimed to the heavens 'I shall become an artist and make games and stuff!'... since then nothing has changed. I still play games, I still want to become a games artist. Oh, but I'm taller now.

I like a great many games, but NiGHTS into Dreams is probably my favourite game of all time. I own a plushie NiGHTS doll! ^o^

Other favourites include Metal Slug, Bubble Bobble, Crazy Taxi and Streetfighter. Most games by Treasure, SNK and Sega go down nicely, and I'm also a fan of Konami. My arcade machine is actually a Konami model...

Yes~! Ever since I was really young I always dreamed of having my own arcade machine. I knew it was expensive and difficult but the dream always burned. In 2000 I bought a cheap low spec upright arcade machine and wired it up to a Sega Saturn.

I couldn't stop there though! I always hoped for one of those snazzy large white sit-down arcade machines you see... the ones imported from Japan that just scream 'game!'. In 2001 I imported one from Japan, did some wiring, and now it runs all consoles! I love it! ^_^

That just about sums me up. If there's anything you want to ask, just drop me an email and I'm usually happy to answer questions (as long as they're not too stupid).

Besides, if there's anything else you want to know and you don't want to approach me directly, then you're probably a stalker of some sort. Don't worry though, all you creepy internet stalkers are catered for. Just keep reading my journal and you can pretend you know everything about me. Before you know it, you can kill me and make a glove puppet out of my skin! ^_^ Yay!

Until then, please continue enjoy my artwork and keep visiting my site for updates!

My PC looks just like this! ^o^

My PC is cute. It's a Shuttle SS51G, and it's really small. It sits on my desk and looks just like the picture to the left. Well, kinda. I only upgrade every few years, so no doubt this will be current for a long time. Anyway, for those of you who care, here are the specs:
