Hi, I'm Gwyn. I'm 26, from Warwickshire. I work in a shop, it's boring. In my free time I enjoy self-teaching creative things and making a bit of side-money from them.
- Programming, focusing on online games and genetic calculators. Currently learning chicken genetics, with the aim of making a super-realistic visual calculator, like Kippenjungle's one, but with large dynamic image layers that accurately show each body part's colour and marking, instead of thousands of small, fixed 'preview' images.
- Art, mainly chickens, horses and griffins. It would be nice to make a chicken colouring book, or maybe How To Draw Chickens, with realistic anatomy. Self-publishing isn't too expensive; I just don't have the time yet!
- Recently started learning sculpture/ceramic tiles. In 2020 I look forward to expanding that, maybe starting a small business. Done a few chickeny prototypes already, of course.
My family has kept chickens since forever. All the uncles and cousins and other relatives scattered round the UK, they have chickens too. I've kept my own chickens for 8 years, have six at the moment. I dream of moving out and buying some land so they're not limited to a corner of my grandparents' garden. The price of land is utterly bonkers though. One day, one day...
Anyway, enough rambling, hello! Been lurking BYC forums for tips/advice for years, it's finally time to join.
Looking forward to discussing creative things and maybe helping out others, though I'm still a relative newbie compared to lots of long-time enthusiasts here.

Lovely intro. You sound like a very ambitious person. I wish you the best of luck in all you do!
