deviantID

Artist-turned-photographer who earnt a living as a designer and artist between jobs as a teacher.

Started out as a comic book artist (first underground in the 70s to mainstream in the late 80s) before teaching art & photography to teens. Moved into computers, web-design, photo-manips, etc. before returning to teaching in 2002 (as an English teacher).

In 2006 I temporarily lost my sight (right in the middle of a lesson with Year 11s), regained it but then started on the slow downhill decline that comes with MS... including pain, fatigue, vision & cognitive problems, and tremors & spasms. All of which makes drawing, painting and photographing very difficult.

I'm now sorta-retired because of the symptoms, so until I curl up into a gibbering ball... I'll try to get some art done... and get it up here.

My stuff can also be found on the interweb...

At least I've had some spare time...

My health deteriorated somewhat (thankfully for only a couple of weeks) and because of some family issues (to put it mildly), I've not been very productive of late. So I decided to take this time to fiddle around with my other accounts on RedBubble and Lulu as well as my blog (check it out: [link])

While updating my RB account I noticed that my latest image seems to be a hulluva lot more popular there than here. Wonder why?

I doubt he'd have heard of them (tho' he will have heard of the writers and artists). They were Vibes, pssst, and HB. There's more info on my Facebook page: [link]
