I WAS on a gifted and talented list... for art. They didn't start realising I could write until that stoopid lizard story. Turns out princes getting beheaded on page two wasn't what the people wanted.

Yeah I was in the list for History. My teacher told my dad I'd go to Oxford. Instead I went to my dealer and got high and failed history. Still love a good series on the Romans though. Ah life Sarah, Life. Draw something for me!

I feel like you and I are proof that lists curse you to never do that thing. I dropped out of art at age 12 because my teacher was rubbish, just sat us there in a dark room watching Bob Ross. My art is exactly the same now as it was back then and I'm just a liiiitle bit salty.

There were a few years when people kept saying "Wow you're so good at drawing", then the kids who hadn't been good got better, and then they were better than me, and DAMN that spiked.

All I draw these days are single eyes because if I draw another one or the rest of the face I ruin it.

Ok I feel this.

Did you paint that? I actually think that's really cool
