It's not a very secure industry. I've spoken to a couple of people recently who had a successful TV show and then found themselves absolutely skint and struggling to find a job.

I spend days with writers' block. It is a problem.

I like the outdoors and the natural world. Environmental issues.
couple fog two
I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!
ballpoint-pens draws mediums
I still draw a lot though. Ballpoint pen is my preferred medium.
cracks face quite straight
I can usually keep a straight face while everyone else cracks up around me, which makes me feel quite humourless. Must be my professionalism!
