.Quentin Richardson

Was born in Africa in the fifties and has since lived on 4 continents. Having drawn all through his childhood, it seemed only natural that eventually he would work in the arts.

Having finished secondary and tertiary education in the UK Quentin headed for Australia where he continued with photographic studies.

In 1983 he returned to the UK and shortly after joined a trompe l' œil studio in the south of England. Painting the length and breadth of Britain he executed paint finishes, murals, and faux finishes for private clients as well as commissions for prestigious interior designers and architects.

1990 he moved to Eire and continued there in the same field but also adding a bit of graphics and sculpture to his portfolio as well as two children to his life. He then got involved in pantomime and play-set design and won acclaim and numerous awards for his unusual approach to the sets.

1999 saw him back at college in the UK for a year where he picked up Government recognised and approved qualifications in Information Technology and Computer studies. These qualifications have since been changed for an inferior version called the ECDL (European Computer Drivers License) and he finds the certificates he already held are worthless in the job market place.

Now happily living and working in southern Spain he is continuing to produce unusual art works, decoration and murals.

"The world has changed so much that my skills have to remain flexible!" he says as he adds computer design to his range of accomplishments. "Before I used to use tons of paper, now I use my Apple Mac more and more"

Stuart Mortimer

Born in Manchester Stuart took the opposite route to Quentin as far as qualifications were concerned, by not getting any.All the way through school in North Wales during the art, pottery and woodwork classes, Stuart did his own thing rather than following the teachers curriculum. He still managed to win all the school art competitions and went on to teach part time at the school and also at night classes.

From the age of eight he started sweeping up the sawdust at a carpentry workshop and by his early teens was making window frames and ornate carvings for listed buildings.

Started sign writing at seventeen while also receiving commissions for portraits and company logos eventually working in Australia.

In 1999 Stuart added tattooing to his portfolio and moved to Spain with his family after being asked to work in the Costa Del Sol's most prominent Tattoo Studio.

Mike Naylor

Born and bred in Yorkshire, Mike left home at the age of 16 to become the very first trainee ever to be taken on by ITV company ABC Television in Manchester. That was in 1962 when Armchair Theatre and Opportunity Knocks were still gaining popularity. In 1968, ABC lost their franchise, so Mike emigrated back across the Pennines to join Yorkshire Television where he worked in the film department for a while before eventually moving back into the studios as a Sound Supervisor.

After 20 years of steady decline (the last 10 years were the worst), he opted for voluntary redundancy and set up his own television post production company, Sync Facilities. As programme budgets began to shrink further, he decided the get out and emigrated again - this time to sunny Spain.

Since arriving, Mike has produced numerous corporate videos and few pop videos too. Most recently, he wrote and directed his first feature film under the Wrinkly Film banner, a traditional British comedy called Black Forest Gateau.

Mike has a tremendous range of technical and creative skills to offer and remains as enthusiastic as ever - if a little more cynical about the way the World continues to change.
