About me

At 35, I am currently self-employed as a gratebuilder (fireplace installer).

Growing up as a child I was obsessed with the cartoon world ( who wasn't? ) and this obsession rapidly turned into a dream of chasing a career as a cartoonist. After a while creating my own characters and cartoon strips, I achieved 2 diplomas in freelance cartooning and illustration in 1997 and 2003 and set out to claim many commissions.

     It was becoming clearer by the day that I was heading in the right direction, however, fate had other ideas for me and now I believe others can benefit from my writing, my experiences and my knowledge and so my aim is to help others by doing just that. Thank you for your time :)
