Michael Linnell did his BA (hons) in Fine art and his MSc in Health Education. He once earned a living by diving off the top of a Transit van into a bucket as part of a comedy acrobatic act.

 

He spent nearly 30 years working for the national drugs charity Lifeline as Director of Communications. In that time he did everything from working on needle exchanges before they were officially sanctioned, to managing drug research projects in Siberia. His main job involved researching, writing, illustrating and designing information products and campaigns for specific groups of drug users and professionals. He also managed the media work of the organisation.
