Well I never had the patience for art classes when I attended St. Peters.They just didn't seem important at the time,sitting on your ass getting numb bum just to draw a plant or a bowl of  plastic fruit.However I did become interested in ceramics, which is probably why I've become so involved in my collection of caractac sculpture.It all started back in 1994, seems so long ago now. I moved to London from the West Midlands in search of a peaceful life, I can hear you saying "London for a peaceful life"!  Well I did and 2 days after I came, I was introduced in to the world of advertising, mm, far from peaceful.This is when I was re-introduced to the wonderful product of blu-tack manufactured by Bostik, well known for its versatillity. I would also use similar products on the market but with different colours and elasticity. All for the same ends, being to stick posters up with. However I found myself using blu-tack outside of my work environment, it can be very therapeutic. It was around this time that I found myself creating strange little figures, you know, just passing the time of day. I was in a friends house one day talking to Amy in the kitchen, thats my friends daughter. I was playing with a piece of blu tack.I gave her some, to see if she could create something.While I was busy with my sculpture she started laughing uncontrolably. When I looked to see what she had made, it was a little chimp. Now I was laughing, in came mum,Lisa. We were now all laughing, I'm sure the chimp sculpture was laughing aswell. This is when I destroyed that which I had made. I was very surprised to hear my friend Lisa say " why did you destroy that"? "that was really good" to which I replied, "Ah sorry, I will make another one for you but if you like it that much, will you buy it from me"? She agreed.....This was the start of my journey with caractac. For more images- Visit MyFaces......................You can also find me at the  Zuu and Yewie.
