Introduction: It was a pleasant, late winter morning with a gentle breeze. Not the kind that produces spitting rain or camouflages the impending gusts that will soon carry your breath and umbrella - flipped inside out and rendered useless, as usual. No, it was a gentle caress in the early morning which gave me hope that spring will arrive early this year, as rarely happens, in England. But, before sunrise, Monday, 28th March 2011 at Waterloo Rail Station, I was sat waiting for a train or better yet, for my new life, my own spring to begin. Springtime, the season when pent up energy awaits the sun's return, to explode into an amazing thing.
When I got to my destination - Ascot Racecourse, I looked around and walked onto the set of a major motion picture for the very first time. Not as passersby or casual observer, but as an active participant Something told me that in this world, magic is made.
Motivation: As a creative and naturally inquisitive person, I continually write, investigate and research, non-mainstream and obscure media stories, revisionist history, "off" topics, controversy, hidden (occult) knowledge, and disclosure of otherwise taboo and esoteric topics. Learning about these topics inspires me to write scripts, design, and draw - to visually express and communicate my connection to what I call, my mission. Having been in various creative fields, helps me understand the process and complexities of creativity, of design, visual and media arts. My projects express my ethos to: do no harm, take no shit, tolerate only what we must, live and let live, everything is energy (positive or negative), connect with who you truly are and your tribe, uncover was has been hidden, discover the once untold, and spread truth far and wide.

From its introduction as a plant/grass species from South East Asia to Central America, the banana has dominated the fruit export-import industry and fed the world.

Namaste.
