How I became a #cartoonist ( part 4 end )

Image
This is the final story of how I became a cartoonist. Enjoy So by now I've given you a few kilobytes of information about my background and where I'm from.  So when I finished school I was working in the family owned shop on the farm. Well I already started working in the shop in the afternoons when I came home from high school. Shop life was a lil bit boring for me but there was days that you would hear some strange things from some customers and it was also fun not living too far from a grocery store, lol😂.  Here is one of the funny things that I would hear from some customers. So this one customers walks into the shop and asks me for a loaf of bread. So I ask him "white or brown bread" and he responds by saying "yes" 😄😄😄Like how the ef am I supposed to know which one he wants now. I was also the worst person to ask for directions. This was before people used gps's or had gps's on their phones. Some drivers would ask me for directio

Welcome back to the third installment of how I became a cartoonist. I hope you are all  doing well at the time that you are reading this blog👍 In the previous two editions I told you what inspired me and how I got started. I also gave you a little background about my life when I was in primary school. Now I will tell you a little bit about my high school life. In my first two years of high  school I didn't like it so much because of silly school initiations and because we were newbies in high school at the time. But during those early years I also remembered listening to well known singers such as Eminem,D12, Linkin Park,Christina Aguilera,Limp Bizkit,Blink 182,Pink and many many more. Most of these artists  were just starting to become famous. ( Yes, I'm that old😂) I thought kids were naughty in primary school but in high school they were on a totally different level. I remember how some teens would throw chicken eggs in the air and it would land and spill on peo

Hello Everyone I am back with part 2 of how I became a cartoonist. In the first story I spoke about what inspired me and at what age I started drawing. Well this part gets fun. Enjoy So yes I grew up scribbling and drawing things on walls,carpets and then mainly paper. So eventually I had to start going to school as I have reached the right age. No one can stay a kid forever. Funny story is that I spoke mostly portuguese when I was small and very little english. So let me tell you one of the funny stories of things that I did at primary school when I was little.  I don't remember which day or days it was, but it was probably in the early first or second year that I was pronouncing my surname in such a way that it sounded like a swear word. I do know that teachers didn't like it but the other school kids found it amusing😂.  So when the teachers used to ask me what my surname was then I used to say "de Vuk-your-selves" instead of saying "de Vasconcelos

Hey Everyone, how are you all doing? How did I become a cartoonist? Well, I can start by saying at what age I noticed that I had this talent. Let me begin with a little  background. I grew up on a farm with a shop in the  Gauteng Province of South Africa  many many years ago. I was probably about four or five when I first started drawing. As a kid I would sometimes draw on the walls and carpets in the house with crayons or whatever stationary I could find. My family wasn't impressed with the mess that I made during that time. I also used to take mostly A5 stationary books from the shop and scribble my drawings on each page. My drawings were really ugly at that time too. To be honest I started from scratch. I guess what inspired me also to draw was the cartoons that I used to watch on tv during those young years. Some of the cartoons and shows that I used to watch of what I can remember was Kideo,Pumpkin Patch,Heidi,Lucky Luke,Heman,Robocop,Spiderman,Ironman,Superman,Tra
