Since I finished a computing degree back in 2003 I've neglected my coding skills, hence this basic look.
Instead for the last couple of decades I have been in a chaotic swirl of creative mischief, awesome oddness and meaningful magic.
For instance, I once convinced a famous drink brand to make cordial in zero gravity.
I created a song of the summer, with famous cricketers, including a cameo from the current Australian Test captain, a laser-eyed penguin and a vaporwave universe. Why? To sell more ice blocks of course.
Then there was the time I got roads shut down in London so we could drive bumper cars through the streets. All in the name of donuts.
From the absurd, to the heart-felt, i’ve specialised in behaviour change and cause based ideas, be it celebrating LGBTIQ + family stories, promoting positive masculinity for young men, challenging addiction stigmas or changing minds around clean energy.
That’s just a smidge of the stuff I've done.
Some things that sell stuff. Many more things that change minds.
I’ve even dabbled in democracy, playing a part in two recent political wins for the red flavour of political parties: one at state level, one at federal level.
Plus I sit on the executive board of the Victorian Fabians, nudging progressive policy into the spotlight.
Awards? No one comes close: Birdman of Bognor best outfit (2007), Knaresborough Bed Race finisher certificates (2007+2008), The City of London Darts league Bronze Division champion 2010 not to mention two marathon and a handful of half marathon finisher medals, completed with minimal sobbing.
And I bet no other creative once built a decent social media following and wrote in the match day programme as a rugby league mascot in a very sweaty horse suit.
As for my other passions, well, they range from screaming in a punk band about sausage sizzles and train ride disasters, to writing an opera (still composer-hunting if you know anyone?) to throwing darts every thursday night for my team ‘The D’artists’ (I did not come up with the name).
Because why limit yourself to one vibe when you can go from Anarchy to Aria to Arrows in the same week?
