Meet the maker Gareth Christie

Hi. I'm a technical draftsman turned Digital Artist with a First Class Honours Degree. More importantly, I'm a bearded fellow with big hair and specs. Some people call me the Wisp. I've also been flicking around with Subbuteo (table football) since 1989, and my love for the game is stronger than ever. Despite amazing video games, smartphones and touch-screen technology, which I also work with to pay the bills, there's just no substitute for a tactile game, playing face-to-face with your opponent in the real world.

So, inspired my own children, I'm on a mission (www.flickforkicks.com) to give this and the next generation an alternative to square eyes syndrome. I've combined hobbies to create a range of ready-made images on canvas, greeting cards, postcards, prints and badges. I also make-to-order if you want something special or personalised.

The proceeds from these MadeForKicks originals help to fuel the mission.

Thanks!
