Interests and Personality
| Biography | AT SOME POINT IN MY CHILDHOOD, I DON'T KNOW WHEN, I STEPPED ONTO THE CRIMINAL LADDER AND BEGAN TO CLIMB. IT LED TO A FUN, EXCITING, DANGEROUS AND SOMETIMES VIOLENT LIFE.
JUST AFTER MY 26th BIRTHDAY I WAS ARRESTED. THE PEOPLE I WAS WORKING WITH SUBSTITUTED THE TWO BAGS I WAS MEANT TO PICK UP WITH TWO CONTAINING £4.5 MILLION OF CLASS 'A' DRUGS, CULMINATING INTO A 14 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE.
WHILST IN A HIGH SECURITY PRISON, I STARTED AN ART COURSE, FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND DECIDED TO AIM TOWARDS A DEGREE.
I WAS URGED ON BY SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S TOP ARTISTS, TRACY EMIN, GARY HUME AND PATRICK HUGHES TO NAME BUT A FEW. I WAS STILL IN PRISON WHEN I ENROLLED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON, WHERE I WORKED WITH RICHARD WILSON ON HIS 'BUTTERFLY' PROJECT. AFTER MY B.A I STARTED A MASTERS, BUT DIDN'T ENJOY IT AND LEFT AFTER 6 MONTHS. I STILL PRODUCE SOME WORK, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I'D LIKE.
THIS NEW LADDER'S HARD TO CLIMB, BUT A FUCKIN' LOT SAFER THAN THE OTHER ONE! |
