aged 14 i didn't know the term 'vector graphic', but that's exactly what i was creating.

my presentations at school were always clearly above my colleagues.

The year was 1990, Acer 286 desktop, 2MB RAM, 20MB hard disk. The applications were supercalc 5, wordperfect 5.1 and jetsetter. jetsetter was a monochrome svg app, running under MS DOS 5. with limited options I was more creative and more productive.

Today, with a million options, I must remember the purity of the old experience and identify the essential concepts.

then i can TRY to produce an image containing exactly what's needed.

despite old and slow technology, i quickly produced work of high quality. this verifies to me the importance of creativity and vision.

== who has these and maintains them and, despite material limitations, will win.

== study nature: == enjoy the sunrise, climb in trees...

== study how shadows are cast: == on a sunny day, watch the ground beneath the trees.

== practice drawing and painting with real materials: == we can make charcoal, squeeze berries, use coloured earth, scrape off rust, do chemistry with widely available chemicals.

== develop your powers of vision and composition: == by doing, doing, doing.
