Derek's creative career all started when he fell into a vat of toxic waste. Imbued with super powers and the overpowering urge to wear spandex, he set out to exercise his new found abilities by defeating his evil nemesis, spouting a plethora of one liners and winning the heart of his high school sweet heart, all the while destroying a collection of buildings in the process.
I guess that's enough of talking about myself in the third person.
When I'm not saving the world, I love to make portraits of people particularly in graphite. I also love to hang out with my own family, drink coffee, teach art, make music and walk around town taking photos with my analogue cameras.
I'm also a nerd having a Visual Art Education Degree, and a Jazz Performance Honours Degree, which means I have a few pieces of paper stating that I am qualified to draw on things and rock up to parties to entertain inebriated merrymakers.
I love what I do!!
