Yes, but how do rose tinted glasses work for the colour blind?

I’m a former creative professional who has freelanced in graphics, illustration, and a bit of 2D animation for about 20 years.

Now, I’m back at my family home in Port Stephens, looking after things, developing and maintaining the family business, and easing into a new direction in my life.


I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Newcastle University, majoring in Film, Photography and Art History and have completed several courses in scriptwriting and multimedia at the Australian Film Television and Radio School.

Back in the dim, dark 1990s, I was involved in local theatre groups like Newcastle Repertory, Footlice Theatre, University Reviews, and a valiant attempt to get a TV series pilot, `Crapola Cable TV,’ up and running at the ABC.

I’m not sure why I’m writing all of this shit - it’s not like I’m looking for work. But at least you get an idea of who I am.
