Cattaneo

I came across this very old drawing in one of my sketchbooks dating from my period at Wyatt Cattaneo animation studio. It shows Tony Cattaneo,  Ramon Modiano (standing) and Alison deVere. These guys taught me more about drawing in two weeks than I learned in four years at art school.

A local gallery invited me to exhibit some work and whilst looking through my stock of paintings I realised that I had never blogged this one. Although entitled The Dunciad it doesn't actually refer to Pope's poem.
