My 8 Facts...
1. I've travelled full circle around the world!
2. I've sky dived off a plane and loved it- I've also Zorbed, reverse bungied, rode a camel, a horse and an elephant, white water rafted, surfed, been in a submarine, deep sea dived, cycled the aran island Inishmor, 30 story drop in dream world and am due to go up in a balloon!
3. I hope to purchase a house by the end of summer-fingers crossed!
4. My eyes change colour from blue to green to grey and sometimes hazel.
5. I gots a heuuuuge collection of hard to find comics from all round the world!
6. No matter what country I'm in I get mistaken as a native on a regular basis-except for Ireland where I'm regularily told to f*** off back to my own country (my own country being Ireland)!
7. While at work once I was helping a customer pick out the right type of glue for whatever he was doing when my boss and the district manager (who had met me at least 5 times before) passed by. The district manager on overhearing the conversation turned to my boss and announced "Oh wow!! that foreigner has great english!" My boss told me later she nearly bust her insides trying to keep a straight face!
8. I have four tattoos and twelve piercings-yet when I show this to people I've worked with or known for a few months (or my mom!) they are astounded to find this out! They never seem to notice all these things! Not even the nose one and five holes in one ear! I just don't come across as that arty kind of person-actually come to think of it when I tell them I illustrate comics they never believe it either!
