A good friend of mine

As well as writing and telling everyone about yourself - who you are, where you're from, what you do, what you like doing in your free time, your family and so on - it'd be great if you could also tell us a bit about a good friend of yours.

Here's a picture of one of my oldest friends called Dan. He's the one on the left in this photo.
















We've known each other since we were 15 or 16, so for almost thirty years now! We grew up in different parts of the country, but we met through our shared love of music - Dan used to design posters for bands and I played in a band and wrote for music magazines and that's really how we met. We used to share a house together in south-east London and even though Dan's now living in Berlin with his wife, we're still very close and Skype or email or text all the time.

Dan's very creative. He now designs and thinks up the covers for CDs. Here's some of the work he's done.





















































Sometimes I see his work on big posters round London and it always makes me feel very proud and happy for him.

Anyway, tell us about someone you're close to - how do you know each other, how long have you been friends, what do they do, what're they like, and so on.
