My Doodle Diaries became a form of selfcounselling after my wife Joy died in 2017, so I was very aware of the link between creativity and mental health. It helped me navigate my grief journey to no end so I gured that, if I was able to help promote this in any way, then I would. I love The Big Draw’s approach; they’re so ‘hands-on’ and not at all elitists. It’s all about encouraging anyone to draw, even if they think they are not an artist. ▸
