It all started the first time I went out dancing…

One of my favourite hobbies (other than drawing) is dancing. I absolutely LOVE it. I do it as often as possible, and it puts a huge smile on my face.

At 14, the first time I went out dancing, my smile never subsided. I met so many weird, wonderful and genuinely cool people, and simply had the best time of my life. I had found my tribe. However, it turns out, no one really knew my name.

I later heard whispers that I was being referred to simply by what was on my t-shirt that night: the ‘Mr. Men’ character, ‘Mr Happy’.

Now, I’m all about cartoons and positivity, so I immediately and deeply embraced the positive character-based moniker.

Being a little different (in all the right ways, I like to think), I changed the name, ever so slightly, to also be a little different. I exchanged the ‘y’ for an ‘e’ and dropped the more formal title of ‘Mr’, to create the identity now known as ‘Happe’.

I’ve had this nickname most of my life, and I apply it to my many creative endeavours, most recently and wholeheartedly to ‘Happe Memories’.

I hope my name represents your experience with me, as well as what my creative work brings to you.

I may be ‘Happe’, but with my artwork, I hope to make you happy too.
