I was born at a very young age in Parramatta in a middle class family with cat, dog, pool and
tennis court. Yelling at my parents 'cause I didn't get a big enough G.I. Joe to smash Luke's
next door. I was a yobbo in training and bloody well proud of it. 'Thank you very much!'.
I wanted to grow up and be a soldier, just like my Father wasn't. I was a quiet lad. It paid off
being the youngest and quiet. While my brother and sister got the blame I could run off and
blow up something.
When I was 3, I wanted to go up a mountain called Wyngen (or some such spelling) near
Scone. I was the only one who wasn't allowed. It took me 23 years until I could climb up my
own mountain that compared to Wyngen; The Annapurnas in Nepal. I was so tired, sore and
hungry I just wanted to get off the bloody thing. I tried writing a journal to boost my spirits
and hopefully impress someone later, but I'd written 'beautiful' so many times I threw it away.
School was tolerable and I tried 'Art'. I think I hated it. I considered doing it in my final years
but my teacher-to-be wanted more to stick his tongue in my ear rather than show me
Leonardo. Thankfully I didn't , he didn't, and I learnt nothing.
I like cartooning and sketching. I'm totally unorganised so painting takes a bit too much
coordination to do often. Luckily my godsent partner Toshen turned up. She supports,
manages and loves me in this strange way that I'm not only not blowing up my paintings any
more, but I'm also selling some. I still may, now and then, blow up a couple for fun.
I'm 32, live in Mullumbimby (in the Byron Bay area). Non vegetarian. Go to the toilet
reasonably regularly. Like frogs and things. Male. Bit flippy. I want lots of tools and money.

All the fun,
