NIckname: Nativeflame Name: Danny Age: 31 Height: 6'1 Eyes: Blue Green Blood Type: O+ Location: Melbourne, Australia Job: I'm an artist, designer and writer/producer of kids animation (educational and entertainment). I freelance for various companies and develop and produce orginal concepts through my production company Native Flame Pictures. www.nativeflame.com Habits and Hobbies: Reading anything and everything. History, science, technical manuals, fantasy or SF, current affairs, art critiques, maps, poetry, research papers... etc. Any other reading suggestions? Like to exercise, enjoy football and golf. Lot of other things I dont get much time for. Favorite fantasy Authors: The last three trilogies Ive read are the Bitterbynde, The Witches of Eiliann and The Quickening so there's some kind of trend developing there. Enjoyed them all thoroughly in different ways. I've read just about every major fantasy author and enjoyed most - though for some reason James Barclay's Legends of the Raven kept sticking in my throat and I couldn't get it down, which was dissapointing. I liked Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time to begin with, loved the first three or four books, then got this sense the ship of destiny had somehow sailed and only got to about book seven before losing interest. Tracy Hickman is always a good tightly woven fantasy read. Movies, Music, TV and Entertainment: Anything good. Some DVDs I own (perhaps some further indication of what I think is good?) The Big Lebowski, LOTR, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, U2 Go Home... On TV i enjoy documentaries. Music, seriously anything, though not a straight electronic dance music, cheesy metal or dinky easy listening fan. What I do with my time: I might come back if I get time and fill this one in. Cheers Nflame
