About me
Sri Lankan / Malaysian blood. British by design. Born on Rock of Gibraltar.
Started in the art world. Showed at Tate, Barbican, Serpentine gallery and Whitney Museum in NY. Pleased.
Wrote a TV show for Channel 4, produced by Charlie Brooker. Offended the Daily Mail who tried to ban it. They failed. More pleased.
Then wrote the Thierry Henry Sky Sports ad, which even people who hate football, didn't hate. Most viewed ad over 24hrs in facebook history with 21 million views. 3rd most watched ad in the world that week. Very bloody pleased.
Recently created a Fathers Day card, for Dove Men, which supported kids whose Black Fathers have been murdered by the police in US. Not just pleased, honoured.
