    After a decade of suppressing my artie side in order to learn to code in order to feed a family I came to realises ... I fucking hate it.

    I'm glad I kept away from compositing due to how the industry is changing. Disney is buying up all the industry and its terrifying as they will not hesitate to move talent from UK/America/ Canada.

    There is no future in VFX I fear. Unless a company reveals itself as cool and great to work for I want to leave this all behind me.

    I have been staring at my old books and scripts and artwork and still feel that is where my future might lie. But sitting down I feel so lazy and guilty. I've taken up live drawing and calligraphy.

    While I acknowledged this is largely trauma that is blocking me from writing I'm calling out if anyone knows of any good podcasts/blogs etc on how to kickstart one's artie side?

    Also anyone recommend any good calligraphy/ illustration London groups/ classes I'd be well happy!

    Ta's are much
