World Domination and ridding the earth of shetland ponies

Apple...everything APPLE! Oh and nunchuks! Do Apple make nunchuks? Who knows...if they did then they'd be the best nunchuks ever. Possibly with video capability so you can watch your fave TV show whilst battling it out in a turf war sparked by someone claiming the MS Zune was the best MP3 player of all time. Pffft...Zune!

I have a Sony Hi8 Digital. Wait...why are you laughing?

Getting things done right from the very beginning. After 13 years dealing with designers I learnt that people don't like to spend money on projects where the Art Director and Designers spend most of their time sipping a Laté and discussing their weekend whilst the Graphic Artists sits in the studio doing the real work.

I decided to cut out the middle men and do it all myself.

13 long painful years in PrePress for varied media ranging from Multimedia to print production. Advertising, design studios, packaging and production houses.

I started at the bottom. Scratched my way to the top. Worked from side to side. Did everything I could to develop myself as a key Graphic Artist with understanding of all aspects on the print industry.

Currently freelancing whilst enjoying a very early retirement from the industry.

Some of the most talented people I've met in my 14 years in the design/print industry, have worked for virtually nothing. No monetary gain, no need to climb a corporate ladder and in most cases, no certificates or diplomas to boast their credentials. They simply do it for the love of their craft.

Rewards come to those who give 110%...always. Regardless of the project at hand.

A helpful tip when dealing with a Graphic Artist: Don't put your hand near their food.
