The V:
Ross Newport: My work reflects my emotional response and personal reflections to the ways in which we as a species choose to live our lives, in comparison to that of the rest of the natural world. Nasality, Survival and Minimalism Vs Want Extravagance and Greed.
Current Exhibtion: Attractive Repulsion
'I've been in love with art ever since I could pick up a crayon' This guy is a tool, but damn, he can doodle.

Steve Ingman: One of the nicest guys in the business, and pretty mean with a brush to boot.
Andrew Pimblott: More musical layers than a disco onion.
James Bartlett: A very pleasant chap indeed, with an interesting outlook on life, design and how the two come together.

Heros:
Buckminster Fuller - Freethinkers are most certainly not dangerous.
Thomas Heatherwick - This guy creates some awesome work that seems to echo my own on occasion. Graduated from the same course so it makes sense.
