I've been drawing cartoons since I was a kid growing up in Australia. I've always been pretty handy with a pencil or an ink pen! I remember one summer holiday with my Grand Parents, when I was around seven years old, My Grand Mother would play a drawing game with my friend Peter and I to keep us out of trouble. She gave us random things to draw from our memory, such as a couch, a street lamp or various animals. I was always good at coming up with a playful cartoon style drawing straight out of my imagination. Later on in High School our music teacher had us illustrate from listening to well known pieces of music. I found that I had a natural ability for illustrating using markers or color pencils. This was one of my favorite classes, even though I didn't learn to play a musical instrument, it birthed my creative illustration gift.
