1977 moving into our first home
in Torbay - see the boxes!
My drafting studio was on the second floor, middle window.

Whilst I was working as a scientist and learning my craft skills, I also had to prepare drawings of parasites, graphs and maps for publications as part of my job. I saw an ad to help a Geology graduate student with his maps and started a graphic artist business. I called this Woof Design and used the same picture of Brixton.
In the late 70's, offshore oil came to town. Chris and I attended a briefing session on what to expect from offshore oil. It was inspirational, but the graphics sucked. The next day I visited Mobil Oil's offices and offered my services as a contractual graphic artist - to my surprise I was accepted.
