His work for 'Nik Naks' was named Ad of the Year (Al Young, CCO FCB/Inferno, Marketing magazine) and culture guru Peter York described it as 'a masterpiece of copywriting and a glorious combination of chemicals, gash horror movies... and inspired disco retro’.

 

​​As well as his day job he writes screenplays (of which two are in development), takes photos and makes the odd short film.
