What is this?

An eternal work in progress. It's an experiment first and an outlet second. It all stems from a personal realisation that extended to a wider one that encompassed those around me. That realisation was:

I know, I know it's not exactly the best way to describe a website where you hope to have some kind of audience, but it's true, if you were to look at my life on a piece of paper all you would think is "FUCK. This person is a shade of grey so inconspicuous that all my eyes want to do is look away." 

The thing is I, like so many others in my situation, don't think I am that dull. Everyone I know who works or lives near me, none of them are as dull as the paper trail their lives leave behind says they are. We've been whittled down to the things we spend the day doing - excel spreadsheets, dull lunches and printing emails - but no-one is that boring, everyone has a fascination. My CV may be about as interesting as a stack of paper napkins but it's the things that are not on it that defines who I am.

That is the point of this exercise, this project. It's to keep those things alive and showcase the fact that just because your CV says you're proficient in Database Analysis doesn't mean you aren't also proficient as an Oil based Painter (I know that I'm not but this isn't only about me). It's a way of exercising that creative part of ourselves that would otherwise get neglected, it's a way of pushing a little colour through the grey lines of the everyday 9-5 and it's a way really to just have a bit of fun, I hope you have a bit of fun here too.
