Someone once said to me, 'Duncan, just look at the ladder you are climbing - referring to my career in corporate advertising - look what the ladder is leaning against because that's where you'll end up'. That one comment proved so helpful to me. I took some courage and risk but stepped of that ladder, sold all I had to go to art school in Italy so that I could improve my skills ultimately for the purpose of creating art that inspires the viewer to be true to their own calling or ladder climbing.
