Born as David J Walker November, 1974, Huck lived his first 18 years in the western suburbs of Sydney (Australia) with his parents and five brothers. After completing high school, Huck moved to Newcastle to study a BA in Visual Arts and wash dishes like a pro.
It was when he turned 20 that he failed Visual Arts, discovered Newcastle Hardcore Techno scene via Bloody Fist Records and changed his name to Huckleberry DJRTD Walker and started making music with computers.
1996 saw the birth of his first child, Irma Walker. Huck returned to complete his Vis Arts Degree, culminating in the first “Spidergrind” exhibition in November of 1997;
[The first Spidergrind was partially funded by Huck submitting himself for invasive medical experiments.

[The first Spidergrind was partially funded by Huck submitting himself for invasive medical experiments. Seven more Spidergrinds were held, one each year for the next seven years. In total, four grinds were private and four were public exhibitions. The spider currently resides in Huck’s backyard where it is rusting up nicely.]
In 1998 Huck ran a small art business that has small successes. He kept himself afloat with part-time work telemarketing under the nom-de-plume ‘John Woodhead’. During the next two years Huck spent his time killing plants as a bush regenerator while studying Horticulture and Bush Regeneration. (So many ticks, so many ticks…)
In 2001 the school where Huck was studying Horticulture closes, leaving him stranded. He spent the year doing bush regeneration and telemarketing while wondering what the heck he should be doing. He gets married in a swamp to a human female; Birgit.
Huck Completes a Diploma of Education and transforms into a teacher of Visual Arts in 2002. While teaching in 2003 child number two is born; another awesome female by the name of Beatrix. That same year, the Walkers become the demonstration family at The EcoHome; an environmentally retrofitted home that is open to the public for tours. The next few years are a harrowing experience where Huck and Birgit try to resurrect a project that has been run into the ground by hippies. Around this time Huck starts writing notes for an apocalyptic tale.
Huck re-trains as a Mathematics teacher in 2006 and is posted to country NSW (Australia). To his great relief his family accompany him.
A promotional transfer to the position of Head Teacher of Mathematics, occurred in 2010, then Huck’s 1st novel, “The Griefing” was completed and published in January 2013.
Huck is currently continuing with the Head Teacher position while writing the second book of the Holocene Extinction trilogy (and the ‘Grey Guide’). He lives in Yass (NSW, Australia) with his family. He makes time to kill zombies online, regularly creates artworks and uploads various comments and crappolla to his blog.

Spidergrind 9 - Journey to the forbidden grind

Here is the spider as it was in February of 2026:

[Materials: Mostly metal, some wood, a bit of glue, some hair and even some sneaky titanium oxide.]

Since it was constructed in 1997, each year, once a year for eight years in a row it was subjected to a few solid minutes of "9-inch" angle grinder action.

A SPIDERGRIND makes a lotta noise and a fair compliment of shooting hot metal bits.
