Over the past four years, I have filled 27 sketchbooks that act as an illustrated diary of my life.

At the time, I was collecting floral flannelette sheets from charity shops (this is probably one of the reasons why we're not together anymore). The thing is, arty guys understand these hipster hobbies; but to a BMW driving, suited and booted guy it must have seemed rather strange
Read MoreIf you love the seventies when roller disco boots were EVERYTHING and car journeys were in an estate car, duvet in the back and no seat belts then Upstate New York is for you.
