Always one to give into temptation I ended up studying photography. I learned to love the photographic image and the chemical aroma of the darkroom, but I was always an illustrator and I scratched and scribbled and painted on my photography, I pulled apart enlarges, painted on the negatives, cross processed, and cut and pasted I was in love with the whole process and of course I eventually scanned one of my images and opened it up into photoshop and my working method took on another dimension, for me this was the most intiuitive workspace I had found to date.
