CURRENT MISSION

Consume visuals, draw the world, start a graphic novel.

ABOUT ME

Curious and passionate. Dedicate most of my time to producing art and promote the local creative scene.

Work as an illustrator with a collective known as the 4 Blind Mice, which consists of 5 guys and their 2-dimensional alter-egos.

Also recently co-founded CreativexPE which is working to build the creative scene in the city through connecting and collaborating with artists across the city.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a strange, complicated and beautiful place. I live to learn and draw as much of it as I can, and as best as possible leave behind something positive.

"Sometimes the only appropriate response to life is to go insane."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I have not had space to host, but have made myself available to hang out and show a bit of the town to visitors

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have friends who often host people, and I've met some surfers that way. Spent two months backpacking in Europe in 2013, and stayed with many great couchsurfing hosts there

Interests

art, architecture, music, good people, good food, good coffee, permaculture and food gardening, bodyboarding.

I'm very interested in environmental issues, which also informs the art that I'm doing. Always curious about different sustainability projects, from school and community food gardens to greywater recycling, natural building and alternative energy.
