One minute they have an all-consuming desire to sketch, draw or paint. The next they throw a temper tantrum because it’s just not right and it’s just not working. I should know…I live with one.

However my artist in residence has just re-discovered his passion & confidence for drawing and is busily building up a portfolio. He’s finally decided to make a go of it and pursue the illustration career he’s always dreamed of.

What’s held him back for the last 20+ years?

Not thinking he was good enough, not wanting to even try in case it didn’t work out & he failed, worrying about what might happen if he tried but just couldn’t and not wanting to start for fear of ruining the perfect image he had in his mind, for fear of ruining the potential with the reality of possible failure.

But now he’s realised that that’s just stupid and so he’s going for it. You can follow his progress on his blog here >>> …and if you want any illustrations (for books, for articles, for programmes, for posters) or you know somebody who might, then leave him a comment on the blog…he’s looking for projects to work on at the moment (both paid and pro bono).
