Born during the depressed times before World War Two,
I remained out of the way until, having passed through the age of puberty, I was forcefully persuaded to wear military uniform and conform to rules of society as circumstances required.
Later, I was led, gently by the hand, into the emerging world of digital manipulation where, for a while at least, whilst still conforming, I flourished, even at one time being encouraged to think of myself as a potential ‘Captain of Industry’.
But every world evolves, some towards catastrophe, others to disillusion, mine, alas, into mere tedium, and so, realising in due time, I strode confidently away into that interesting part of the Universe where The Arts prevail.
Having seized my liberty I remain content and potentially sane whilst failing, it must be said, to have prospered to any great degree.
