In 2013 it was at its worst and I was about to give up on illustration having been one for forever. I spotted a Competition called the <a href=\"http:\/\/silentbookcontest.com\/www.silentbookcontest.com\/home.html\">Silent Book Contest<\/a> in Italy and decided to give illustrating one last go. I did however make some rules\u00a0for myself before starting and stuck by them all the way. One of them was that Brian the child should write the story and Brian the adult wasn\u2019t allowed to make any changes no matter what. I wrote the story that day and in the evening Brian the adult started to pick flaws in the story. Thanks to the rule, I never allowed Brian the adult to impose and I went ahead and won the Silent Book 2014 in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookfair.bolognafiere.it\/home\/878.html\">Bologna Children\u2019s Book Fair<\/a>. I guess my bully is Brian the adult and my creative is Brian the child.
