My artistic output is my only resistance I can put up against the feelings of hopelessness as I peer into the 21st century. My works are the tip of ice-berg of my thoughts, and they take time to emerge in my mind; resulting in a feeling of great relief. My doodles have no choice but to become murals, as I try to match the size of my concerns.

Conversations with piers and colleagues about our domestic futures i.e.: houses, jobs, girlfriends, children are always tainted with awareness of how unstable the structures of civilization are. It is make or break time for my generation, we cannot rely on obtaining the domestic comforts our parents may have enjoyed. We have to perceive another type of World, one which isn't about getting the ideal home, ideal job or career; else we might as well build all our roads towards the cliffs edge.

I was born in January 1984. I grew up, and still live in the South Yorkshire town of Barnsley, which is situated half way between the bigger towns Leeds and Sheffield.
