Artist, illustrator, singer

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Basically I would work for free if money wasn’t an object. I’m not bothered about sales, it’s the joy of getting my hands on paint, paper, canvas or pen and ink.

If I wasn’t creating art I would join a choir that travelled round and just did spontaneous performances of cool songs. Simply to make people feel better. I would do it without pay, just for the pleasure of entertaining people.

All I would need is enough money for food and shelter. Certainly I would try and share with other artists if money were no object. I would set up a small gallery near the coast and talk to people who visited it, but not as a salesperson, but to discuss art and creativity. I don’t enjoy selling, I’m an artist, not a seller. X

  1. 1) Running a bookshop. I love books and being surrounded by them and I’d love to make other people happy the same way. I used to visit a bookshop on a barge – the woman who ran it was absolutely lovely, but she couldn’t make a living out of it in the end.
    2) Working in a launderette. Smells lovely, nice and warm and your work has a tangible result. I am sure you’d have to deal with stroppy customers and nasty messes now and then, but it looks quite relaxed, from the outside at least.
    3) Independent record shop – reasonable hours and hanging out listening to music with a bit of unpacking boxes and filing here and there, if you didn’t need to worry about paying bills, it’d be great.
