Back to the drawing board literally as I had to work in a caravan with 3 other art workers.
Again there were things to learn, serious paste - up, and working on a light box desk, so we could splice and paint out negs and clear film.

We had a great deal of design talent in the caravan studio! Gordon Hurden and myself, had both attended the illustration course at Cambridge Art School.
The clients at Graphic Arts offered the occasional bit of illustration for us, usually the Cambridge City Council and the Arts Theatre posters, and when these came in we would vie with each other to get the chance to draw.
