Sometimes opportinity presents itself in the strangest way - which is how I ended up designing the 'stage' setting for Rockstar Joe Cullen's own personal practice room I have never met Joe in person - we have been in the same room ONCE - at the MODUS/MDA exhibition in Northampton 2025, but I was busy helping sort out something and taken the time to speak to Nathan Aspinall about (ironically) a stage design and the importance of his snake logo having eyes That was as close as
