A little background info...
_ I am British, but my wife and kids are Aussie, and we've lived in Brisbane since Sept 07. In Dec 08 we moved to Logan - where we bought an acre of land whilst we were still in the UK.
I’ve spent 20 years in the UK Special Effects industry doing all sorts of things, that whilst they were creative, were not really ‘what I want to do when I grow up’.
I did an MBA before we left the UK in the mistaken belief that, because I was good at managing a special effects crew, I had something to offer the world of management in general. On arriving here and putting that into practice, I realised that I was mistaken. It was such a bad fit for me that I became ill, and (to cut a long story short) ended up becoming an artist. Altogether a much better fit for my irreverent attitude and much more supportive of my deep concern about other people's welfare.
As a result of that leap....I also own a small Art School in Logan. I teach there 4 days a week, to support the artist lifestyle that I've become accustomed to.
