"...I'm an Englishman, and I live on a huge slab of driftwood cast out into the foaming seas of the northern hemisphere. I've been an artist since I was nine years old; it was on my ninth birthday, on Christmas day, that I found out about Father Christmas not being real. The pain of this revelation propelled me into a dark cave of suffering from which my genius was born. I've always been a gloomy sod. But it's ok because I'm gifted. And my gift outweighs any stupid presents left by imaginary Christian/Pagan Dad deities..."

"...The world screams - and Jody feels its pain and cries out mournfully in a terrible chord of Teen Angst. After a period living in Shitsville (London) he lived in quiet seclusion with his elaborate bicycles in the deep countryside of the County of Countryside. His dwelling was so remote that there were no roads out at all. No shops, no lights - only the howl of the owl, the inquisitive friendship of the weasel and so much mud. Now he lives on the movable driftwood island and to pass the time he makes pictures for anyone who asks (by message in a bottle). Scrawling pictures of dead and dying dolphins, weeping over empty treasure chests, getting mental treatment from the natives for having been an inmate at Her Majesty's Prison Art College and painting portraits of the sky help to fill the time between sleeps. In the long nights he manipulates electrons on distant hard-drives to bring the joy of websites to the world. There's nothing like a hot-roasted bird of paradise for breakfast. He uses Penil markers, a scanner and the iMac Apple PC Dell Dimension Intel Inside Celeron Acorn BBC Micro Laptop Desktop Flat Screen Wide Screen Sony Solar Easeltop Mini Organiser Mulberry Blackberry Raspberry iBeret to make his works..."

"...Jody is a real show-off. He's always getting his tits out. When he's not drawing stuff, he's eating or sleeping or going to the toilet or just jizzing off about the end of the world. He never rides any bicycle apart from a carbon-fibre triathlon bike worth $16000 - it has a lot of custom parts including a unique ceramic Rapha luggage rack for his computer. He also manages a diverse portfolio of funds and shares. Life's a casino. What a crazy stud. Hook up with him on top Russian search engine www.yandex.com..."
