Paul first had acupuncture in the early Eighties. He had been practicing T’ai Chi Chuan for several years and was so interested in the Traditional Chinese view of health that decided to visit an Acupuncturist. Acupuncture made Paul feel very different. He became a lot calmer and focused, less stressed and irritable than he had been previously. After a few years it had brought about such a profound change in his outlook that he decided to change career and retrain as an Acupuncturist.
Paul worked as a self-employed illustrator for fifteen years before re-training as an Acupuncturist. He worked primarily on children’s educational magazines and comic books. He worked for Marvel, DC and Dark Horse comics, drawing and painting such titles as Batman, Judge Dredd and Aliens.
Much of his work is still in print, and you can buy collected editions of his work in specialist comic-book shops throughout the world. His work has been reprinted in Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina
ancient China to modern England.
