about

Paul grew up in Dublin, Ireland, under grey skies and endless rain. Staying indoors to avoid the relentless Irish weather and avoiding the teenage social scene, he played with an Apple 640, IBM, Commodore 64 and Nintendo and picked up many computer skills. Paul was also drawn to art and studied animation drawing and practised freelance sketching. He was soon drawn back to computers and balanced his creativity and technical ability by studying multimedia production. After finishing college he decided to escape Ireland for a while and travel through India and south-east Asia. There he discovered a Korean lady who swore she wasn't from the North Korea. Paul came back home and then decided to study in a different country with equally bad weather - Scotland. There he received a first class honours degree in Interactive Media Design at Edinburgh Napier University. His elite skillz were harnessed. As if he wasn't sick of schooling already, in 2009 he moved to the land of Kimchi and instant coffee to teach at a Korean public school in Seoul. He lives with the Korean lady, who is nice to him, she still swears she's not from North Korea.

Paul is experienced in media design and photography, two of his life pursuits. Besides doing creative things, playing on his computer and reading a lot, he loves critical thinking, skepticism, science, nature, video games, social media, even numbers, symmetry and grande sized coffees. Here are some quotes from people he admires:

"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking".

"Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centred on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition".

- Carl Sagan.

"It is far from simple to show the truth, yet the truth is simple".

“My road is towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world. Thus I decipher in a new way the world unknown to you”.

- Dziga Vertov.

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people".

- Eleanor Roosevelt.
