Dis nou eers my tweede jaar in daardie deel van die industrie. Die kinderboeke illustreer ek al vir 9 jaar en dis daar waar ek my passies begin uitleef het en my suksesse gevind het. Dis ‘n kleurvolle lewe en ‘n mengsel van moeilik en maklik. 2. Hoe het jy jou passie vir illustrasie ontdek en wat was van die grootste struikelblokke of hindernisse wat jy moes deurgaan om uiteindelik te kan doen wat jy vandag doen?
