"It's never too late to be the kind of artist you want to be" I've arrived at thinking. I was drawing animation when I was a teenager and that was my first passion. It became computerised and I had a few wilderness years of being pissed off and living off other things. But then I asked myself what sort of artist I really wanted to be? What artwork had made me envious? - and the answer was the asterix type of stuff I remember as a kid. So I began studying that style instead of jumping from area to area and once I got capable began writing this smuggling story based on people I've known in the world of smuggling and dealing, and for a little help I got a friend serving time for hashish smuggling to help me on the finer details. Now I might be just as broke and as disrespected by those who I care little for as much as before, but I'm contented and working on stufff I love a lot and a lot of people seem to be liking and following the story.

I've come to think that Graffitti at it's best is a damned good expressive and emotionally intense medium. You could take that sense of expression elsewhere and just learn some new skills to express yourself through.
