Describe your work in one sentence:

Good, clean fun with lines and colour.

Why do you do it?

My art is about good communication. The better we communicate, the better we understand.

What keeps you going (what’s your GRIT)?

A relentless desire to be famous and powerful.

What advice would you give to somebody wanting to become a ‘creative’?

Draw a hand. Once you can draw a convincing hand the rest is easy.

Tell us something unusual about yourself.

I'm also a professional comedian. I've done a TEDx talk. I was briefly the face of Lancashire life magazine. I do yoga headstands. I could go on, how long have you got?
