I have many hobbies and interests, my main interest is learning, learning a new skill or trait or improving a current one, I love to better myself and improve. My favourite hobbies include -

Dog Grooming - I ran my own donation only dog grooming salon in order to practise this, I loved the dogs and enjoyed pampering them, i developed my skills quickly and fell in love with my fluffy clients.

Horse Riding - I love working with horses and it has been a while since I have ridden properly, I have a natural skill with horses and love everything to do with them from the riding to mucking out. The passion is still there, the money in order to continue is not unfortunately.

Animal Care - I love animals, I bond well with any kind of creature from snake to horse (I havent met anything bigger yet). I love to study them, to learn about how they live in both captivity and the wild.

Swordsmanship - I love practising sparring skills however there is only so far youtube tutorials can take me with this, unfortunately I can not find anywhere in my area that teaches swordplay but I will continue with the resources I have now.

Archery - I have a very natural skill with a bow, ever since I was very young I would often make my own bow and arrow from sticks in the garden, although I could barely use these handmade monstrosities, I never lost my passion and when I finally got to use a real bow, I was smitten. I had a very accurate aim and really enjoyed the skill.

Swimming - this is the most relaxing part of my week, jumping in the pool and doing about 20 lengths or so. Although I am not anything special in the pool, I havent sunk yet and I enjoy it.

Walking my two dogs Rain the Inuit Wolfdog and Fletcher the Springer Spaniel

Fiction Writing - I am always jotting down new ideas and I currently have a work in progress, a large fantasy novel series which I am very excited about. I have lots of plans to publish many works in the future.

Reading - I will read absolutely anything, however my favourite works are A Game of Thrones and Prince of Thorns, they are both fantasy adventures and serve as great inspiration for my own work.

Drawing and creating digital art - Please see my gallery for examples of my work, I enjoy designing characters mainly and my best work is done using a computer with a graphics tablet. I could spend the rest of my life pouring over artwork

Animation - I love messing with animation, whether I cam using flash or like the pieces below, frame by frame animation made in windows movie maker using hundreds of hand drawn images. Below are a handful of my youtube videos demonstrating my creativity and passion for animation.
