Today I marched my way down to my University and made a final decision to change my course to BA Illustration. I was originally doing a Graphic Design course but feel I need to specialise my skills and really work at what is most important to me: drawing.

Even though I like Graphic Design and it good to know about the rules of space, type and grids you cant get far in life without fundamental drawing knowledge. In my new course I will be with teachers who will be directing all their energies and focus on developing skills within students such as myself. When I was previously at college I felt like I was working hard at something I wasn't destined to be doing.

I met my tutor Chris who is very wacky with mad dress sense (very typical art tutor) and a really enthusiastic bloke- I think I will get on with him.

So, from now on you will be seeing loads of new development work (hopefully!) and lots of interesting finds from my sketchbook.

I am moving house again tomorrow so things may be a bit sparse on the blog front- but I'm not deserting it just yet! :-)

Good luck with the move and your new course.

Good luck with the illlustration. Our old tutor used to say illustrators can design but graphic designs are not so good drawers - you have chosen the right course
