Drawings...

-----

I like to practice drawing a lot...

-> As a pre-teen child -unauthorised- I drew on top of the classroom desktops.
-> As a youth -also, unauthorised- I drew 'graffiti' on walls...not writing; but, actual, drawings.
-> As an adult I preferred drawing using the computer: desktop/lap top/iPad tablet/-etc.
-> Of course, I also draw in the traditional manner as well...using pencils/pens/paints...on lose sheets of paper/or else, inside of sketchbooks/and, on canvas/or canvas boards.

For me, drawing is a much needed form of self-expression...; the same way either speaking/or, writing is.

I'm mostly 'self-taught' as an artist; but, I did attend classes on occasion here and there...most of the time, 'dropping out'; I was never too good at sticking to routines/or, listening to other people's instructions...as, really, I wanted to do everything 'my' own way...as opposed to what was theirs.

-> Morley College, Lambeth North, London, UK (Class: Arts for People with Learning Disabilities/12 x weeks Introductory Course: Fine Arts Foundation)
-> Lambeth College, Adare Center, Streatham, London, UK: Art History, Life drawing
-> LARA-London Atellier for Representational Art, Vauxhall, London, UK: Life Drawing
-> London Life Drawing Network
-> etc.

Officially, I've been diagnosed as having...

-> AS-Asperger's Syndrome
...and, unofficially, doing my own self diagnosis, I believe I also suffer from:
-> ADD-Attention Deficit Disorder
-> BPD-BiPolar Disorder.
-> PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
-> SAD-Seasonal Affective Disorder
-> SP-Social Phobia

NOTE: I also have a slightly above average I.Q.; thus, I can't help but being somewhat deeply 'self-aware'; in fact, rather painfully so. I realise I don't necessarily tend to 'fit in' with others easily...; but, rather tend to stick out just like being the proverbial 'sore thumb'; but, for those people who are willing to quite patiently put up with my really 'odd' quirks...; then, they usually find me to be interesting, entertaining and fun.
