PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN

I was a fat baby, Born 1959 in a Walcot council house in Swindon. I enjoyed my first years, developing a sense of self preservation, bully or bullied? I had to find an alternative. I decided to make friends with the pack leaders, i was a hanger on. I was safe. School was cool. I chased girls and played football, being fairly average at both, I had friends and a good family. I liked drawing dinosaurs.
