Starting Over Again
Ever since I can remember, I always love to draw. When I was very young, I scribbled all them over my bedroom walls until I mastered paper and pencil. Later, an enlightened schoolteacher made sure of I went on to art school and it was there did I draw my first life model, which was a wonderful experience. My tutors encouraged me to take in drawing seriously, but I ignored their advice. I wanted to do something more exciting like a career and I chose graphic design. After college, I worked for a number of years as Art Director at a small publishing company. I loved the sociability of office life, but gradually became more and more frustrated. I found myself long to draw properly again, but what meant having time to draw those things which interested me. Then, out of the black, it was announced that the firm was being reorganized and I was offered voluntary redundancy with quite a large number of cash payment. I leapt at the chance. With enough money in the bank to support me for two years, I went back to art college, determined to get my drawing skills backed up to scratch so that I could embark on a career as an illustrator.
