I am a human, brain owner, and I like the fun.
My Self-Summary
I thrive on conversations with smart, funny people. I'm not averse
to staying up all night. I studied Fine Art at art school &
since then have been trying my hardest to avoid real life - it's
worked so far. I read a lot, I party a lot, I travel a lot. I don't
draw enough.
I fucking love science: evolutionary biology, physics, astronomy
and cosmology are my favourites. Although I'm a purely a spectator,
never done anything about it. I also take a substantial if
increasingly apathetic interest in politics. And I'm a bit of an
armchair futurologist.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm an artist and musician. I drum in a band but have just started
music production too. I pay the bills by DJing which also allows me
to travel the world, although I don't get to see much of it apart
from the inside of airports, hotels and clubs. Getting into DJing
was an accident related to the success of my previous band, I never
planned it, but it's such a great blag I just can't stop. I do
genuinely enjoy it, it's essentially professional drinking, but
it's not exactly my vocation.
I’m really good at
Drumming, drawing and drinking. Sardonic comments. Hand stands.
