Early drawings

For a long time, my mother kept the drawings I did from the age of two - sad clowns, caravans, and houses with cows and goats grazing on the thatched roofs. The Sarasani Circus, with its band of Sioux in feather headdresses, magpies, zebras, camels and elephants were an endless source of inspiration. I spent hours drawing comics on my slate - horse races, Cossacks, and cowboys and Indians. When I got to the bottom of the slate, I just erased the top and kept drawing. The process was repeated endlessly. Was it a hint of all the visuals I would later do for the voracious maw of television?
