| Occupation | Illustrator/Cartoonist |
| Location | Melbourne, Victoria, Australia |
| Interests | Drawing. Crank up the computer, and spend the odd hour absorbed in a fantasy world of shapes and colour.Creative meditation. Sports, but in particular soccer. Too long in the tooth to play effectively, but I coach a team of youngsters and I love it. GO UNITED!! Walking, cycling, reading, being lazy. |
| Favorite Movies | Honestly, I could sit and watch movies all day long. My favorite movie is Groundhog Day and The Castle, a low budget Aussie movie which turned out to be a big success. Feel the serenity! Historical movies and the occasional period drama. Anything with Helen Mirren or Kate Blanchett, and I have to admit I am a sucker for old John Wayne films 'pilgrim!!' |
| Favorite Music | Virtually everything, and the older I get the more I appreciate the classics, especially Madam Butterfly. I can sit still any time for 14 minutes and listen to Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams. Still love the Woodstock stuff and all the subsequent stuff those bands produced.'Three Days Man!!!" But I have moved on too and have a computer full of stuff that I love, courtesy of my children. |
| Favorite Books | Dictionary. Fascinated by words and where they were derived. Wilbur Smith for good old fashioned rip snortin' adventure, and Jeffrey Archer for sophisticated contemporary intrigue. |

Lidia (my gorgeous chick) David Attenborough (my boyhood hero, and still) Winston Churchill (Statesman and warrior) Michael Parkinson Kate Blanchett(The best actress on earth, with real substance) My mum (she would put everyone at ease)
