Personal Statement
 

I am a father of three young children.
I regularly paint and sculpt for commission or exhibitions as well as for pleasure.
I write and perform my own poetry, short-stories and songs and produce music tracks for performances.
I am fully computer literate with skills ranging from hardware assembly and repair, proficiency with word and data processing as well as video editing and animation software.  As a professional graphic designer I use Adobe PhotoShop to create, edit and manipulate images, logos and photographs.

My interest in literature is broad, ranging from science-fiction to classical and modern philosophy.  My biggest literary influences are the works of Plato, Maya Angelou, W. B. Yeats and Chuck D.  I submit philosophical essays and biographical or fictional stories to various publications.  A lifelong interest in art and design manifested as a child with building Lego, a passion which remains thanks to my children.
I have travelled extensively, countries include America, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, France, Qatar, South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. 
As well as commuting to London, I work with clients all over the world via the web.
