The other side of my brain :-)

Welcome to one of my personal pages for stuff that I haven't had time to put elsewhere!

Another, more work oriented, page maybe found at my "Graham Brown-Martin" bio page.

Most of my working time these days is spent running my company, Learning Without Frontiers (LWF).

LWF is a disruptive, activist organisation that brings together global thought leaders from the education, entertainment and electronics world to explore new ways of improving learning and personal opportunity. As part of this mission we host large international conferences and online communities, publish and distribute valuable resources and initiate programmes to identify and celebrate new talent. I started this company in 2004 after returning from working in the Caribbean and it has brought be back to where my career started, before I took a detour into the world of entertainment, i.e. the educational and electronics sectors, and has allowed me to combine my interests in all of these areas as an active social entrepreneur.

When I'm not working on the above I enjoy freelance journalism and writing. I've edited the biographies of two well known names and have written a book of my own. My book is a "warts and all" story about a year my family and I spent living in Jamaica that turned out like a dub version of "A Year in Provence" (supported with, as yet, unreleased "fly on the wall" video and audio recordings) - we went to discover good vibes and one love but found something entirely different!

Not that between raising a family, working and writing there's much spare time but every now and again I also get involved in a bit of film, video and DVD direction having directed videos and epks for The Fall, Malcolm McLaren, Salt Tank, FSoL, Zoe and Geejam. I also worked with Buggy G Riphead to design the ships computer for the feature film "Lost In Space". Who could resist the challenge of designing a human computer interface set 5,000 years into the future?

I get a real buzz out of writing and working in the creative fields where I've found that there's very little difference between artisans, scientists and inspired entrepreneurs. So in a nutshell it's a great excuse to meet some truly amazing people.

Below is a collection of some of my past efforts in journalism, if you hate them then keep it to yourself but if you like them tell others, especially commissioning editors!

All the best
