Hi, I'm Doug. I'm doing art and design now, but didn't always. I've travelled a lot, enjoy tinkering with stuff and playing table top games. My mother was from Orkney, a land of archeology and seaweed eating sheep. Spending idyllic summers in Scotland exploring and playing games formed by personality.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit come again.
thank you.
