Kludo was born in London. He has been drawing things since he
was very small (he's much bigger now). When most people stopped
drawing, he didn't because he likes drawing. He has followed a
tendency in life to continuously try and do only the things that he
likes (and not much else). Many people have asked when he's going
to get a proper job; it seems unlikely.
He has done many things for a living; from washing cars and
gardening, to singing songs. He's been a Stage Manager at Music
Festivals, a Stand-up Comedian, TV & Theatre Actor, Teacher,
Writer, Director, Producer, Voiceover artist (doing funny voices),
Radio presenter and according to him, he approaches them all in the
same way - as an Artist.
He is a creative - an Artist with passion and an alternative
vision. He draws (& paints) people and things he likes almost ALL
THE TIME. Sometimes these are on canvas or lumps of driftwood.
Sometimes people buy them to hang on their walls. Sometimes he
paints on the walls.
When he works as an Actor he gets to travel a lot and that's always
interesting. Sometimes it means he doesn't work at all, which can
be quite useful because he has time to think, do Yoga, bake bread,
play with Campervans and go swimming and surfing. He loves to
travel and has recently been drawing in Morocco, France & India
(where he also painted a Mural). He likes going to places just
because he hasn't been there before. As a Musician he's toured the
world playing music for over 20 years. He did this for a long time
whilst living in a campervan. He loves telling stories and painting
pictures with words, sound and music too, and makes recordings of
his original songs, with his bare-hands, in his own recording
studio.
His earliest memories are happy family holidays in a VW Campervan
and his first car (at 14) was a Beetle. He has owned and driven
Campervans of all types for 20 years and still can't fix them or
keep them going on his own (but they usually have a nice paint
job.) In 2005, at the end of a Tour, he moved to a bungalow by the
sea and started painting, drawing and surfing, in earnest. He sings
about surfing and campervans on his recent Albums "Campervan
Radio", "Freedom on Four Wheels" and "The Campervan Radio Christmas
Album". If you have read this far, chances are you'd enjoy
them.
As a Teacher of Art and the Expressive Arts he has taught Art,
English and Drama to Children from the ages of 5-18 in schools and
colleges throughout the UK, and been a College Lecturer and
motivational speaker. He continues to teach people to play guitar
and write songs. He loves encouraging others to be creative and has
been aware of, and thoroughly enjoyed, the meditative process
involved in drawing and painting on a personal level for years. He
is delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for others to
relax, escape and be creative too, with this new collection of
drawings of Kool Kampers for Colouring.
