Available to hire
As a hard working and dedicated individual I can complete projects I start or participate in, with the added challenge of having a partial physical disability I face some challenges others wouldn’t have to manage with, so I would opt to work part time from home.
Main interest is in comic book and horror art and I am also a keen guitarist and drummer having played in bands from my early teens and now do my own music called A4b which can be found on Youtube. I am also available for working for charity large or small to provide work for good causes.
