I was born December 3 1974 in the town of Whakatane New Zealand and lived there for 28 years until a family tragedy gave me the opportunity to migrate to Adelaide South Australia in 2003 where I am at present and continuing to learn new things about my craft. I guess I've been into arts and craft since I was a little kid. I remember at the age of 5 trying to build a spacecraft out of cardboard and cellophane and right through all my years I've been into drawing, painting, making models you name it even traditional New Zealand Bone Carving. You could say I have a fascination with many different subjects such as Egyptology, Astrology, Astronomy, Movies, Science Fiction, Art &Crafts, Ancient Cultures but I've always had this thing for Scifi which has grown over the years About 6 years ago I started using computers to do some of my artwork and my obsession with science fiction got even bigger when I was able to create and build my ship designs in 3D and when I got my hands on Bryce I just could not believe the things that were possible. I get my ideas from many different things such as movies, mags, dreams, even every day life but in some of my models I try to combine elements of my interest in ancient cultures & Egyptology with science fiction.
