I'm not a trained dancer in the slightest.

I wouldn't consider myself an outsider artist because I have a university degree in painting.

I actually prefer the silent black and white version of the Wizard Of Oz from the 20's.

Yoko Ono is someone who's music I've discovered more recently. The current cd rereleases of her albums all had bonus tracks recorded just with a tape recorder and I'm really into these at the moment because they have a great intimate feel.

The muted color scheme allows the occasional brighter yellow or red to pop out on the wall in a show, which I like.

My favorite artists from comics were early ones like Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko who had a real heavy ink style. Captain America, co created by Jack Kirby, was a favorite of mine and I sometimes use an altered version of his costume on some of my characters.

When I was a school kid I used to read lots of comics. This started me on drawing, I would make my own comics about my teddy bear whose name happened to be Ted.
