  I did. I did Art at A-Level and went to university to start doing a Fine Art painting degree. But I didn’t really enjoy doing art plus going to university is really expensive so I wanted to make sure i could get a good job at the end of it and sometimes art can be difficult to make a living from, as fun and as rewarding as it is.
  I’m also colourblind and only started to realise that the picture I was making looked entirely different to me than they did to other people.
  I still enjoy visiting art galleries and I occasionally do some stencil grafitti
