    A friend and I started an 8-bit gaming fanzine back in the mid 80s while we were still in primary school, mainly because we could get free games from the publishers (and did too). I used to draw mastheads for it with fineliners on stolen RAF paper.

    I discovered booze in high school and kind of forgot about design, started a software engineering degree while working at GEC Marconi. After one year I hated it and one day I was sitting drawing office chairs hooked up to the electric sockets - that struck me as just a bit weird so I wrote my letter of notice, upped, left and never went back. Went into the art college the next week and convinced them to let me on the course eight weeks late. They did. Et voila.
