Ask An Artist - Taking the Plunge: Interview with Rodney Kingston
In this episode Peter and Tom interview artist, Rodney Kingston. Rodney studied at Wimbledon School of Art and Camberwell College of Art, before embarking on a career as a graphic designer. For the past 10 years or so, Rodney has been painting more and more alongside his employment, before taking the plunge about 12 months ago, to pursue his career as an Artist, full time. In this interview, we ask him what led up to him "taking the plunge", as well as the highs and the lows of these past 12 months and what he wishes he had known beforehand.
