Who (or what) is nooneevergetsit?

nooneevergetsit (no-one-ev-er-get-s-it)

Born out a frustration with everyone else’s seeming inability to understand theories and processes that came naturally to me*, nooneevergetsit began as an email address.  

Fast forward fifteen years and my arm stopped working.  Which was a bit awkward as I used my arm to make chemotherapy drugs.  

The next five years was largely spent changing jobs, moving house, getting married and trying to figure out what the problem was.  

Turns out the “answer” was chronic pain syndrome.  I already knew it hurt.  Anyway…

With all this, I had to teach myself to write again.  To keep up the practice of holding a pen, I started drawing again.  

I’d always been a fan of graffiti and street art, especially character based works, so I started doodling things and a ghost emerged.  

Through this period I began suffering with anxiety, to the point of fearing going outside my house. I started putting these fears and feelings into the ghosts I was drawing and making them into stickers. 

The way I usually explain it is like this:

I would be out and about and people would see me on the street and treat me one of two ways - as if I’m scary (large, surly looking with headphones on), or they would treat me as if I was invisible, often literally walking into me. 

The reality was I was desperately avoiding everyone as I was terrified of them and the possibility of having to interact with them, even in the smallest way!

Some people would see ghosts as scary, whereas I was actually scared of them!

Fast forward another five years and I’m painting murals, making hand crafted designer art toys and have stickers all over the world (thanks to the amazing international sticker community!).  

I’m selling art in shops and keeping my anxiety in check, being able to attend and sell at various shows and fairs.  The process of making this art plays a MASSIVE part in making this possible. 

*turns out, this is because I’m autistic! It all makes sense now I know
