Learning numbers is easy. But writing a bio about yourself is like trying to reason with World Leaders.

​​

Well I am Tom, born Belfast once famous for George Best, the Titanic and the Troubles. And as a writer and artist, I grew up with all this nostalgia and magic in my mind.

​​

But another life many moons ago. I arrived in Blackpool as a Seaside Memory Man to thrill the Bucket & Spade Brigade. Then my manager joked that I should shorten my cabaret, so it became cab.

​​

As a taxi driver with more miles to the Moon & back, and blessed with charm and an awe-inspiring memory. I was always pleasing the passengers with my narration and comedy.

​​

Later in life I discovered my love of writing and then illustration, as other assets of my imagination.

​​

And then after all those years of the tyranny of taxi, I welcomed the diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome that answered my cause and everything made sense in my chaos of this world of pictures.

​​

But the best has yet to come, as I know that I have no certificates or Master's Degrees nor any professional career authenticity whatsoever. However I have talents and gifts that can never be measured.

​​

I just know I have something very special. And by a future of writing and art I want to give something back to this Earth that I  have taken so much from.
