Since I already had the talent to portray teachers at school, my school teachers found me an apprenticeship as a building painter and varnisher. Today you would say at least a graphic artist with my talent, but in the 70s that wasn't the case. I had a serious accident at work in the first year of my vocational training and have been severely disabled ever since. I have been fighting my way through life with this disability since I was 15. Now I am 61 years old and I am slowly running out of strength and will. I had another accident at work in 2023, this time while working as a limousine driver in Zurich, Switzerland. Since July 2023 I have been living mostly in my motorhome with an accident pension of €500, which is not enough to live on but is too much to die on.
