So my amazing wife managed to knuckle down and help me with getting my sorry website into a slightly better state. In spite of her being insanely busy with work and the small task of GROWING A HUMAN BEING INSIDE HER BELLY (!!!), she managed to put together an exquisite landing page for my website, [...]
One of the best things about Brighton is the close proximity of lots of amazingly talented, creative people. One of the best parts about that is that lots of creative comic types have called Sussex and South England home.
