# About me

If we were to choose objects to represent our inner self to the outside world, what you'll see here will indicate my love of poetry, literature, vintage works of art ... what will those tell you?
"History, memories and kindness are what an old soul must share whilst traversing life and experience." That's my belief and what my life is now dedicated to - educating and the sharing of important knowlege and skills. Not at all easy at times, but the route to perfection ends when life ends.About yours truly: I travel constantly between Europe and Asia. I'm an incorrigible workaholic. I have been in international promotion, business consultation and development for over 20 years, and, have owned companies in the creative industries. Currently, I'm working on a project to set up an atelier+cafe+gallery+promotion centre (non-profit) and TV production outlet in Paris. That's the corporate side to me - the other side of midnight will show that upon meeting me, you won't know all that because I tend to look perpetually 25 and sound naive.

Well, in the corporate environment, I have been known to be intimidating though - so not all the way naive - which, of course, is great when I'm fighting for a humanitarian cause and need to solicit support from intelligent, affluent and oftentimes, complicated financing individuals and/or business resources. Bit of verbal whip cracking technique required perhaps ... miaowoorr ... :DIf only we could just say: "Gimme the money!" and get it pronto would life be sweet, yes? But, reality check ... and reality bites - that's never the case.Now ... what am I doing in deviantArt? I'm an Art Appreciator generally and in the real world, one hat I wear (amongst many as I love hats) is that of Decorative Art Consultant because of the art talks I conduct at times, the creative talents I've interviewed, latest design concepts and products I've reviewed and reported on for over 15 years, and the international gallery and television station I'm affiliated to in Asia. It's always a pleasure to visit the creative talents that congregate at this site and their amazing virtual galleries, and a joy to befriend the few I have had the pleasure of getting close to.

Thank you for visiting!

Peace and love

Current Residence: france, hong kong, philippines
Favourite genre of music: classic, pop, jazz, rock, all genre really
Operating System: mac os
Favourite cartoon character: modesty blaise
Personal Quote: death is boring, and i've never been bored in my life.

I think it's because you still made a wonderful image for them no matter what you did. It's amazing to know you're so talented to! I'm glad I got to know you.

thank you for the blog post, I didn't approve it because it read more like a memo to us; but I did read it and wanted to thank you for it.
