Who & Why

WHO AM I?

Hello, I'm Stephen David. The human behind the bones, the wandering mind behind the artwork and occasionally the person wondering what on earth I was thinking.

I've run ultra marathons, played football and occasionally found myself on a stage. These days, I'm just as happy watching live bands, catching a DJ set, drinking a few beers, getting home ridiculously late and convincing myself that yesterday's pizza is a perfectly acceptable breakfast.

I've always had a restless curiosity about things. Music, art, people, ideas and all the strange little corners of life that make you stop and think.

Somewhere along the way, Lazybones happened.



WHY DID IT HAPPEN...

It started in my late 40s while studying for a Personal Trainer qualification. I became interested in motivation, personal improvement and the idea that a little visual inspiration might help get people moving.

But somewhere between exercise, creativity and questioning the world around me, my attention wandered.

I started looking at art differently. Why does one image draw you in while another leaves you cold? Why do certain shapes, symbols and strange combinations of things make us feel something?

One question led to another. Then another rabbit hole appeared.

I've been down so many that I'm beginning to suspect they are connect somewhere underground.

Eventually, I found my way back to the real world through a black hole's emergency exit.

Lazybones is what came back with me.
