# About me

I'm Scottish and a wannabee musician. I play acoustic guitar, mostly finger-style arrangements of other songs but nothing beats just a good old strum along and singing away. Whether you can sing or not (in my case not) its great fun. I try to play the banjo and piano, but they need more practice and i write songs of my own. Piano lessons are a future goal of mine.
My favourite guitars are my Yamaha CPX700 and my APX500ii. They're the only children i plan on having.

Im a history nerd, especially Scottish history and everything related to WWII. But mostly all things Scotland. Im a proud nationalist
I enjoy gaming and im a huge film nerd. And of course i also like to make things using Photoshop and Cinema4D in my free time.

I got introduced to graphics through forums and seeing peoples signatures, as someone who was always drawing i fell in love with photoshop the moment i got it. Although most of what i make are sig banners they are probably my least favourite thing to make. I like photo-manipulations and working with large canvasses. I guess thats why my signatures are getting bigger and bigger all the time.

Work wise im a pipe fitting engineer. I build pipe spools for the oil rigs and for hydro plants etc but most work is for the rigs. Never been offshore. I like coming home to my own bed at the end of the day.
Just a normal guy trying to get through life like everyone else =)
