| Introduction | I am a half-Greek, half-Irish Gent & illustrator from the East end of London. I now live in Brighton by the sea and I love it here. There's so much going on that it's hard to keep track! I do a lot of drawing. Pretty much every day. If it's not for work then I'll try to get in at least an hour of sketching just to keep at it. I love old stuff; clothes, furniture, books, trinkets, Manners! I love new stuff; Robots, computer games, the inkling, modern acceptance and ideas. I guess that's why I like the Steampunk scene. It's a merging of the best of both (mostly). |
