He was an awesome teacher, full of energy and enthusiasm and a love for art and creation. I'll never forget our first lesson with him. He got us all to spend 2 or 3 hours drawing something and most people were pretty proud of what they had done.
"Now rip them up!" he shouted. "Tear you drawing into pieces and stick it back down in a different way..." was the command. Some protested, others were stunned in disbelief - our precious works...?
I was with the scattered few who ripped into them with delight and began re-assembling. It was liberating. It was exciting. It was exploring new ground, breaking the mould. Letting go and making new! Long live passion!
Roy taught us good.
