He has a hamster called Don who likes to eat peanut butter and Tic Tacs. He also has a collection of clay pipes found by the Thames.

He has created an amazing illustration for the ?!X book of James Parr, Co-Founder of the Imaginals‘ future, one “where putting the environment first is a reflex.”

GB: The future I choose is one where everyone has an equal stake in society, where people appreciate nature and don’t abuse it and milk gets delivered in glass bottles by milkmen in little white trucks.
?!X: What’s a ‘think’ to create this future?
GB: Future States: Plastic Bag
?!X: What’s an ‘act’ to create the future you choose
GB: Take time to understand the realities of social and environmental issues. Learn to think critically. Take action when needed. Write to your local council about milk deliveries.
