The first thing I do in my day is...
Eat my porridge.
At the moment I am working on...
A short film about the Nudie Books I used to find in the woods as a nipper.
The best piece of creative work around at the moment is...
The poster that 180 Amsterdam made for me where I was required to wear a see-through nightie. What makes it so? The fact that I had to wear a see-through nightie.
I am inspired by...
The ghost of Benny Hill.
This year I’ll be attending...
Various Ephemera Society events.
The next big thing in advertising will be...
The rediscovery of the billboard.
In a film about my life, I’d like to be played by...
Elmer Fudd.
The screen background on my mobile phone is ...
A monkey’s arse.
My last social media update said...
“Today I will mostly be wearing: a hairy bowler hat.”
My dream collaboration is...
Me and Bill Gates making the world’s best crazy golf course; I’ll design it and he can finance it.
In up and coming talent, I look for...
A haunted look in their eyes.
A piece of criticism I’ve received was...
“It’s too big.”
The last song I listened to was...
Wandering Star by Lee Marvin.
