Rising to the position of key animimator, his skills were applied in numerous other international releases including the hilarious Uderzo/Goscinny creation ‘Asterix and Cleopatra’, ‘The Big Bang’ and Herge’s ‘Tintin and the Temple of the Sun’.While engaged in creating images, he frequently found stories emerging from his subject matter - vividly visualizing and conceptualizing tales and anecdotes associated to them.So, while the visual arts took precedence in his career, his latent writing ability lingered nascently.Yet, Lawrence has always nurtured an underlying compulsion to express these forces narratively.The Other Marco, is the first realization of his heeding to this compulsion to write.He chose to illustrate the story to add another dimension to it. all booklovers, including all the quirkish ‘must-have-pictures’ readers will adequately have been catered for.view less
