Hello and welcome!

This is me on the right, wearing goggles and discussing marketing ideas with my dog Toni. Her feedback is incredibly valuable — basically she agrees with everything I say and thinks all of my ideas are fantastic. Even if they fail horribly and I make a total fool of myself. You can't beat that kind of loyalty in an employee.

With regard to jewellery, I love it, but I never wear it in work as it might get caught in a piece of machinery and then I’d lose a finger — or an arm, or possibly my ears, and I don't wear goggles all that often — I just did it for this photo because it looks professional. I once got branded with the image of a horse in a freak accident in the studio (in spite of the excellent health and safety precautions and regulations that I’ve set up here;)

I was sanding a horse cufflink when it flipped out of my sanding motor which does 3,000 rpm so the friction had made the metal burning hot, and it ricocheted off the wall and down my top singeing its silhouette onto the base of my neck. Cool. So in work its safety and comfort first, style second (or not at all), so I always wear goggles or glasses, a pair of jeans that are ripped to shreds, as well as a hand-me-down man's dress shirt (I'm sure it was nice in 1972). Buttoned up to the chin, it's a really good look.
