As written by him...

I have graduated with a First in Game Art at the University of Northampton. I like games, films and art. I go to a weekly life drawing class on Tuesday and other tasks that I enjoy are drawing and painting, watching films whether at home or going to the cinema, going on walks, etc... For a guy whos graduated from a course about video games, I actually dont play that many games these days and spend more time focusing on art.

Im quite a calm, laid-back guy so you dont have to take yourself too seriously. Have a laugh! Things we might get up to include going shopping, going out to do a bit of drawing, going for meals, doing the laundry, playing games, driving out somewhere (I have my own WAV that youll be able to drive), etc Im not a planning kind of guy, so to be honest, Ive got no idea what wed be up to. Really just depends on how I feel.

I look forward to meeting you!
