Hi everyone, I'm a 30 year old guy living in Bath, UK. I'm a nursery teacher so spend a lot of my working time covered in paint, glue... and who knows what else haha!

I love all different types of art. I've been producing house/techno/electronic music for years and started getting into photography and design a couple of years ago.

I love any photos with people in them! Beautiful pictures of strangers are wicked! I like some photos of places and objects too sometimes, but for me it then becomes all about wicked bright vibrant colours against everyday life!

I find people really interesting! I like people watching, haha I'm not a stalker... i just find people really fascinating... you know if I'm sat at a cafe watching the world go by... I get some cool photos that way!

I like looking at flickr for cool art, photography and design. I quite often print out pics I find that I like and put them up in frames or just on the wall in my flat. I also like collecting arty magazines… online and real ones!

Recently I've become interested in sketchbooks and collage. This is new for me so I am on a mini voyage of discovery of different types of paints/media and materials trying to figure out what works best for me. I love the combination of photos with sketch and different materials.

I really enjoy creating lots of little pieces which are all kept in one place together! I want to start a japanese album after I've finished this sketchbook!

I love languages. I speak English, Spanish and French and am always interested in learning new words and how to build proper sentences in other languages from around the world!

I love animals too and I have an awesome dog called Barney... he's a golden labrador and gives the best cuddles... he is the friendliest dog you will ever meet... he's the best!

Check out my photos on flickr if you like... you might see a few of Barney... and maybe of me and some of my friends and family too!

Enjoy!

I would love anything arty and thoughtful that another person has made for me like: photos; sketches; collages; zines; cards; sketchbooks; a recording of your voice; language guides; a short story; a letter; a stuffie; a net or something I can make… the list goes on... anything thoughtful and made by you :)

To help me make my own art it would be cool to get any little things from around the planet like: different papers, materials, fabrics and textures like: wrapping papers; wall papers; scrap book papers; fabrics; wools; ribbons; pens/pencils etc.

I also love all sorts of other cool accessories and other things like: stickers; chunky keyrings; cool kawaii figures; t-shirts (m); belts; chunky bracelets (girly is fine); fairy lights; art magazines; photo frames (with or without picture of your choice in it, haha); cutlery; thin lipped mugs; etc..

The list is endless and really I will love anything arty and interesting, especially anything with really bright colours... so surprise me with anything you think is cool!! :)

The only things I wouldn't like to get are things that go in my mouth (foods/drinks etc.) or on my body (lotions/perfumes/face paints/balms etc.)... my little brain is a little funny about things like that, haha! :)

I'm new, but I will never flake... I will always only ever send out stuff that I'd be happy to get myself!

If you haven't got your swap for whatever reason, it won't be because I have flaked... so please message me and I can re-do a new one for you and send it again :)

Happy swapping! :) :) :)
