What I used to want to be...

I remember when I was wee and at school in New Zealand I often used to pretend to be...
ROBIN HOOD...
while my friends used to play other roles from the Sherwood tales. I still think it would be pretty cool to be Robin Hood!
At home I often pretended to be a...
TRAVEL AGENT...
and I would book holidays for Kirsten, my mother who pretended to be the customer.
The earliest profession I remember wanting to be was an...
EGYPTOLOGIST...
swiftly followed by an...
ARCHAEOLOGIST.
This was my ambition for a very long time.
Apart from that I have wanted to be...
an ACTRESS, MOVIE DIRECTOR, FILM CONCEPT DESIGNER, HISTORICAL ADVISOR FOR FILM and very briefly a ZOOKEEPER. I also had the dream to found a museum which functioned as a real village and portrayed a combined historical and eco-friendly way of living (while residing in New Zealand for the second time).
I still have a great interest in all these things and try to combine them with my current illustration work when I can.
