Literary Editor FD2D

An outspoken, philosophical, dark and meticulous poet, Cultural Ambassador Timothy Grayson spends equal amounts of time between his home in the red light district of Leicester City and touring European dens of iniquity for 'artistic inspiration'. He is a member of the Decadent Romantics with Steven Silverman and Nathan Lunt, International Representative for the English Poetry Brothel, Literary Editor for FD2D Magazine and well known for his taste in archaic fashions (often sarcastically referring to Mr. Stephen Fry's praise of his Wilde-like collar as a particular high-point in his literary career).

It is a known fact that Grayson never went to university, having gained his experience working and training with various professional organisations such as the BBC, Royal Society of Literature and The Poetry Society of New York, but still remains a staunch advocate of education, both self-taught and institutionalised. He believes that the From Dusk 2 Dawn creative philosophy makes more common sense than those of other creative organisations: "FD2D focuses on the quality of work, not the educational background of said work's creator. If a person needs experience, they're given the opportunity to hone their craft; if they're talented, they're given the opportunity to shine. It's the way all creative organisations should work. FD2D is an important, pioneering platform for anyone with a desire to create and celebrate creativity, and I'm proud to be a part of it."

@JoshPalmerMMA I think that should be a rule of the @tapout tee: if you make someone wearing one tap out, you win the shirt..

@JoshPalmerMMA I asked a tapout tee if he trained last week. His response? "Er, yeah. Can't you tell? Do that cage fighting an' all..."

Just saw a guy almost get hit by an ambulance. That would have been quite ironic.

@YStylianou Excellent, I'll probably see you around then! I spend my time at FD2D offices at the phoenix, unless I'm lecturing, of course!

@YStylianou Sorry, I didn't see this until now! Don't think I'd be able to make today, too busy with work. Thanks for the invite though!

@YStylianou I think the wings are a little off, but I like the composition. If you get a second, could you send a pic of one he's completed?

@YStylianou Wow, and that's by an 11yr old? He certainly has potential.

@GemmaNoon Haha, tell me about it. London-New York time I can deal with, but pacific? Confuses the hell out of me.

@YStylianou I was near the back; I'd been staring longingly at the street piece for an hour, on and off!
Timothy Grayson - Literary Editor FD2D (tgrayson)

tgrayson tweeted:

@YStylianou I saw him do that too. Very shrewd. We must have seen each other in passing, then!

@YStylianou That was a powerful image! The gentleman who purchased the £38.5k dancer made a wise investment too. They'll only ever go up.

@YStylianou I think I remember the one. Excellent choice. I'm considering that mysterious street scene near the back, before the cubby hole.

@YStylianou Wonderful. I look forward to it!
Timothy Grayson - Literary Editor FD2D (tgrayson)

What do I mean by 'imagination'? Harnessed divinity, or 'that which comes from the muse'...

What do I mean by 'talent'? Natural affinity witg a chosen medium, or 'that which comes from the self'.

What do I mean by 'Craft'? Taught/self-taught ability aka the technical aspect of one's work.

tgrayson tweeted:

Craft, Talent & Imagination are the three Brothellian tenets of great art. Good artists may utilise two, but great artists harness all three

@stephenfry is also a victim of cameraman love in his docs. Every 2 mins there's a long distance shot of him walking, then a close up smile.
Timothy Grayson - Literary Editor FD2D (tgrayson)

tgrayson tweeted:

I think the cameraman has a crush on Andrew Graham-Dixon in the Art of Germany doc. Worth a watch, but it's 30% art, 70% AGD's flailing arms

Just got called 'ducky' from someone at least 5 years younger than me. Unsure how to feel about this...

@LuchadoreMierda See, that's the kind of protest I agree with. Anti-fascist sentiments deployed through anti-fascist means.
