# About me
I’ve always had trouble sleeping and as a child I was plagued by nightmares. Insomnia has led to an inability to tell dream and reality apart. As I got older the nightmares stopped but the insomnia didn’t. I find myself constantly thinking and unable to switch off. My work is driven by a compulsion to draw and an attempt to recreate the contents of my head and try to make sense of it. I mix my own personal memories, experiences and fears together with visions from my nightmares, images culled from popular culture, music, literature, and my current obsessions, theories and ideas. Anatomy and Fear are two of my biggest inspirations; my fascination with them manifests itself in the vast majority of my work.Current Residence: UK
Skin of choice: I prefer skeletons ;)

Cheers My Mum used to say to me "why can't you paint pretty pictures?" or "why can't I paint nice things"... after years I think she gave up and accepted my imagination, I actually think she secretly really likes the dolls in their pretty dresses! keep at it and stick to your guns

I'm interested with your story of life.
Trust me life is more of a nightmare than the dream world, would it seam weird that I can talk and feel and see clearly in mine.... something tells me theirs something more in dreams that we don't know.
cherry o sir.

Gosh the story of my life... pretty normal I guess nothing extraordinary, really cheerful almost idyllic childhood, but I've had mild insomnia and bad nightmares since I was little so I guess that's where the themes in the art all stem from, other than that I'm pretty cheerful and upbeat!
I agree on the dreams/nightmares front, having insomnia and sleep problems means that the lines between dream and reality are blurred and you end up in a state of almost hyper-reality, I've also had very lucid dreams which is a bit of a strange experience...
