He graduated in 1965, obtaining a National Diploma in Design (NDD) in Fine Art - (Painting and Sculpture).

After leaving Walthamstow Alan returned to Rhodesia where he started a career in advertising, graphic design and illustration. Alan now lives in Oxfordshire and although still working as a freelance graphic designer is very active in the field of fine art.
