Favourite Writers
In some fashion, whether it be their ideas, characters or the way they use words, these people have made an impression on me: Charlotte Bronte, Robin Hobb, Roald Dahl, H.P Lovecraft, Emily Dickinson.
Favourite Games
I game in my spare time, when the notion takes me. Portal (1 & 2), Fable 2, TS2, and Age of Empires 1, 2 & 3 are among my favourites.
Tools of the Trade
Photographically: OlympusPen EE-3; Canon EOS 300; Canon EOS 33V & a Diana F+. As for art: mixed media all the way - though my preferred mediums are 4B pencils and watercolours. If I'm working on canvas, I like good old emulsion paint & varnish.
Other Interests
When I'm not being creative or glued to a game, I can usually be found reading, writing, cooking/baking, studying, & taking walks with my dog for company. Most of my time is spent with my charming boyfriend, whether doing all of the above or not.
