I haven't yet finished helping my parents on refurbishing our house, my father wasn't feeling he had to go a serious heart operation last year and had to put the refurbishing on hold, but now father is in full recovery.

But during that time I've been getting a few people from my village, in Arnside Cumbria for some of my artwork and in some of my spare time I've been doing some of my own artwork for a bit of fun and for my family. I'm still keeping hold on what I said after came back home from university as soon the house is fully refurbished and getting to what I want to do for an art career.

Working hard at my third and final year at the University of Cumbria, it hasn't been my best time then because with everyone else I had to through COVID-19 through the whole year, social distancing and social media was really, really difficult to do and more difficult to do any artwork projects properly.

​But against all odds I have finally got a pass from university. And most of all... I got my university certificate.

I've been working hard this reassessment project to help improve the my marks for getting a pass, after I was done before the deadline I've been waiting anxiously for my results, looking at my emails (both student and my own accounts ) since August . Until at last on the first week of September I finally got a reply of my results. My family was very proud of my achievement, but not as proud as I am. 

You may not understand this, but before I started college I spend a lot of time with father both during and off work (whenever I was free from school). I took it a very long time to realise this, but he has taught and asked me on being my own man. And from college to University (learning Catering and illustration) I think I know what I want do and how I want to do it as my own man.

I want to do my part in working in one of my father's pub/hotels he owns and among them create and sell my own artwork for everyone to see. I've already achieved well enough to catering and hospitality, and now...

I am now an illustrator

I'll Be finishing university very soon, After that I'll be keeping busy, helping my family at home, keeping busy at my Dad's brewery earning some good wedges. This will be like taking a break from my artwork. My home in Arnside is being refurbished. COVID-19 is making the work get done very slowly, so until that is all done and my parents, brother, nephew and me are fully settled I staying out of my artwork after finish my last year at the University of Cumbria.
