interests
Experimental Typography has always fascinated me. Sketching characters with pen (line art) has been one of my great indulgences. I found my interest in Graphic Design initially through Match boxes and Cigarette boxes. Then followed Magazines, Posters and Photography Apart from merely listening to music, I find great interest in vinyl record (LP) album covers from the 70’s and 80’s. The genre being essentially Rock and Blues.
