My name’s Marti and I’m an engineer. Late 2011, I embarked upon a new challenge (I just can’t help it, I can’t sit still). I wanted to become a cartoonist and children’s author too. Yes, I know. This was going to be a difficult journey as engineers aren’t known for their humour or grammar.

Engineer ≠ Humour

To add to this challenge, I’m also going to have to overcome my genetics – both my parents are of German heritage (doesn’t mean I don’t love you Mum).

Engineer^2(German heritage) ≠ Humour

I also need to address years of working in an engineering environment, where logic and rational is king, and lateral thinking is a whimsical concept.

Engineer^2(German heritage) / (Logic Rational) ≠ Humour

However, this only makes the journey more exciting. I’m embracing this challenge with enthusiasm and determination and hope this will start to swing the equation the other way.

{ Enthusiasm Determination } – { Engineer^2(German heritage) / (Logic Rational) } = Humour

So the time has come to put my theory to the ultimate test - one book and one cartoon at a time.
