June 21st 1991 - Present
This is the first of five tracks created to mark my 33rd anniversary of pursuing a career as an artist. I've only recently seen the light, or heard it and come to the realisation that Art was actually my second love. My actual first love was and is, music, closely followed by a cup of tea, or coffee as well as something that you put in a roll-up ;).
With those ingredients, I was able to spend every hour lost in music whilst I created beautiful highly-detailed works of art, which are now in collections all over the world.
Maybe in time I'll do more pictures, for pleasure and whilst listening to my own music, but for now I'm having too much fun making music.
I haven't lost any of my skills that I patiently learnt whilst pursuing Art, in fact they all come with me and it's the processes involved with creating stuff that is enabling me to create five to ten songs every day.
Let these words serve you well in having the courage to follow your ambition, but most importantly, taking time to assess whether you are actually following your heart and living the life you want to live. Don't judge your life by others, judge it by what inspires you. Do something exciting, go follow your dreams, but be prepared to take your skillset in a completely different direction.
