CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Brussels for 2 months, arriving on April the 25th

ABOUT ME

I am a Manchester based artist who works with stop motion films and detailed black and white drawings. I have done lots of traveling and grew up in Swaziland. I enjoy being sociable and chatting to people about anything and everything.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to create things. Anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The main reason for me setting up this profile is because i will be moving to Brussels soon to work on a stop motion short at Beast animation studios. Whilst staying at a freinds house there was a couch surfer there and she mentioned how it is preferable to youth hostels because people are much friendlier and the profiles can introduce like-minded souls. So here I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on many a friends couches but never someone that I do not know.

Interests

A self confessed art nerd I love all types of creativity and anything that stimulates the imagination.

I enjoy cycling in all forms be it along a busy street or in the velodrome. My favourite is long distance, I have cycled the west coast of Ireland and across England sea to sea

I like books and reading and writing, I have a large collection of Art books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When i was 14 and living in Swaziland we drove to the other end of South Africa, along the garden coast to arrive in Capetown for Christmas. The present from my dad was to do the highest commercial abseil in the world down the side of Table mountain. The views were incredible! Best present ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I will have all of my animation equipment with me so if you would like to see how stop motion or traditional animation works i would be more than happy to bore you to death with it all.
