Where to start...
Born in Zambia, I was raised by a pack of wild parents. We emmigrated to South Africa at the tender age of 7 (me, not my parents!) and settled in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal.
I attended Pinetown Boys High (long after I was 7), where I excelled in art and languages. From there, it was straight into the workplace. Finances ruled out the possibility of college. I dabbled in various jobs, from mechanic to mural painter, until I was drafted into the military for a few years.
I then became involved in silkscreening, industrial design and various other semi-artistic endeavours. Advertising was the next logical step. In those days, a black and white Mac with a 40meg drive was considered a monster and Photoshop didn't even have a number!
After a good few years, I stumbled into game design and worked for the leading online gaming company in the world. I spent 7 (there's that number again!) years developing games, templates, tutorials and other training modules, all the whille honing my technical skills in graphics software.
I am now based in Durban, doing graphic design.
I then took the plunge and started out on my own. Now I'm poor, so gimme work!
