Early Artwork


I don't know about some critical professions such as paramedics, passenger train drivers, bankers and oyster salesmen, but when you're an artist, you have to slip your conscious mind into neutral, do the work and let the mistakes happen.  Otherwise the style doesn't come and you end up making clip art for a living. And nobody wants that (brrr, imagine having to tell your family you do that for a living).
