David is it just the 2 of you?
I have a story pretty much the same, loved art (that's all I could do really) wanted to become a sculptor, but realised that wasn't a viable income.
What grabbed me about "Graphic Design" was "the idea" taking a brief and really looking into it and developing something that really communicates what you are trying to say. The Partners and Pentagram was my first awakening to the sense of producing an idea that is clever, thought provoking and relevent.
I don't go with all this style based stuff that populates the web saying, look how "pretty" I can make my work, and then a year later it's "out of trend". Everything has to be there for a reason, and based on an idea – that is (IMO) where good design lies.
I now can't stop thinking about design and always look for new ideas, a fresh way of thinking and a unique and different approach is what keeps me ticking. I am never going to be loaded, but I will be happy.
