Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn't going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.
I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.
I'm not really a cutter-off sort of person. I'll chat to anybody.

Color harmony was thrown out years ago, as restrictive chains were broken forming my free style.
For example, I like using strong Greek and Roman Renaissance characters as part of my series.

I speak African. I can even speak Italian.
Being sectioned was the best thing that ever happened to me,
