MS in Studies of the Future at University of Houston-Clear Lake
It seemed like a good idea when I was sick of London and websites I
didn't care about. It was certainly an experience. I learned a lot and
you can see some of the papers I wrote. |

Deputy Editor of Capital Radio's websites
Too, too long. The shallow fun of meeting stars didn't make up for having to listen to Capital FM all day. |

Webmaster at Syzygy
It was OK. But everyone else ran away about the same time I did. I cobbled stuff together for sites such as Cartoon Network UK, Excite UK, Pepsi UK, the V&A, Whiskas, Wilkinson Sword and WPP. |

Alpha Geek at Wired UK
I wasn't that geeky, but I managed to blag a job as sysadmin and they
were crazy days when any job title seemed possible. I couldn't believe
I had a job there, and it was all thanks to v1.0 going pear shaped. It was like this
only more English and I've yet to enjoy a job as much as the first few
months there. But eventually v2.0 also disappeared. The new economy is
so fickle. |

Modelmaker at Aardman Animations
Freelance, and more off than on. But it was fun, and the biggest pay cheques I could then imagine. Made models for TV ads for Chevron, Lurpak, Weetos, and a couple of days on A Close Shave. |

BA Graphics & Illustration at UWE
Had a great time, and loved Bristol which was why I stayed. Made lots
of friends; made many stupidly arty (as opposed to good) things; wimped
out and avoided too many parties; learnt a lot; did some paintings
rather than spend my time on those nasty computers; went on an amazing
mystery field trip to Berlin, Innsbruck, Venice and Bognor Regis;
learnt about old Dutch paintings; discovered how much I enjoy movies;
made many, many things out of mounting board; discovered how much I
enjoy going to gigs; got drunk; cycled up and down hills; failed to
learn French. |

Foundation Course at Braintree College
I learned how to do things other than the small black and white pen drawings of which I had previously been so proud. |
