Early on, I was told I had a talent for graphics, drawing and painting, and I loved music and science fiction. So naturally I went to art college to design book jackets for Kurt Vonnegut and album covers for Pink Floyd. And naturally everyone else was doing the same. And naturally I got nowhere.

 

So I started selling my (and other people’s) paintings door-to-door, with some success. But it was cold and wet and I was chased by the police and bitten by dogs, so I went to sell advertising space on a computer magazine in a relatively warm office.

Then I realised that flash West End agencies were coming to me for marketing advice, and I thought, “Hey, I am helping these people to buy Porsches and they have much nicer, warmer offices than I do. I can do colouring in, and I can write stuff that sells computers.”

 

So that’s what I did. And after many years of doing just that, I am still available to do writing and colouring in (but I do them separately now.)

 

So, I can help you develop a concept that will (say) sell a cloud-based security product into local government, or you can buy one of my pictures.

If you fancy either (or both), please get in touch.
