Hawkins
Richard sold his coffee business so that he could spend two years in the garden shed and save the world. He was attempting to make electricity out of gas (hydrogen). One university head of physics said that they would not be allowed to do the sort of experiments that Richard was doing for health and safety reasons. Having nearly burned the shed down and been close to electrocution on occasion he is still attempting the impossible seven years later. 
Drawing people has always been an interest. " What fascinates me is that there are billions of people and we are all different – individually we can adopt a million different stances, facial expressions and poses so you would think that drawing a person would be easy with lots of room for error yet a single dot of ink at the corner of the mouth on a drawing can change it from a likeness to an anyone." "I prefer to draw women than men because they are generally more beautiful and also in common with my experiments in the shed, I don’t understand them. Annoyingly fascinating!" |
