Artist Interview
Can you recall the first time you realized you were going to be an artist? What were your earliest impressions?
I was lucky to receive my first commission quite soon after graduating,
it was for the Financial Times Magazine. I was asked to draw the Olympics in Athens. The day it went to print I was so excited; I remember driving my Vauxhall Nova at top speed screaming with joy all the way to newsagents to buy it. This gave me confidence to pursue my illustration career, I will always thank that art director for taking the chance and using a young unexperienced artist.
